We share a good 50% of our genes with bananas, for example. The genes we share are neither "human genes" or "banana genes", just genes that are in humans and bananas.

Shit, I even HAVE a banana

Just missing a bear and we can have a manbearpig.

It's actually a myth that pigs are not intelligent, they are a very smart animal and have very many similarities with humans.

This would enable hospitals to grow human organs in pigs for transplantation.
Pigs grow and mature really fast, you could grow a replacement organ for an adult human from their own cells (to minimize the risk of rejection) in under 10 months. That's manageable time.
You could also have random donor spares ready at any time for emergency transplants where the risk of not having the organ outweighs the risk of tissue rejection.

Plus, something like this is a lot more palpable and far and away less of a moral minefield than growing human clones for the sole sake of organ harvest and transplants.

And yet people eat them.

 

[Ryccardo]

You mean the "Has science gone too far" ads successfully predicted this over 10 years ago?

Can't wait to use this technology with different animals to fight giant mutated cockroaches from mars.

Pigs recognize their own reflection in the mirror, I can not say the same with cats. XD

personal expirence?

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

Sigh, why does it have to be a pig?

Well, cooked human is called "long pork" for a reason.

(But this probably has to do with the similarity of genomes)

Saltier, according to cannibals. (at least that's how they describe Americans)

The first embryonic hybrid proves that human cells can be introduced into a non-human organism and survive. However, it was terminated soon after it was created.

I have seen it. It is disgusting. God created Man, Man killed God, Man created embryonic hybrid and embryonic hybrid is now terminated.

Man created the concept of God.

Man created the concept of God.

Oh, an atheist.

Let's stop all that right now. This topic is about a scientific development, not a religious one.
