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 was thinking more like Animal Farm.
The gold sword would probably be really painful for the pregnant mother.
So, why again do they take one of the most intelligent species on the planet and combine it with one of the least intelligent species? Don't you think pigs would be disgusted by being infected with human genes?
soon....
Glad I'm not the only one who thought back to this. lol
Also we Duke Nukem 3d now
Let me ground everyone's expectations here. 1 in 100,000. That's how many human cells were in the chimera, and even that took a lot of trial and error. As for the silly jokes, keep 'em coming.

Why the hell are they doing this again? Just because they can? Sorry, but people shouldn't play god, it's like Jurassic Park and we all know how well that ended XD
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.

I'll get invested in this story as soon as they ad bear into the mix to create ManBearPig.
Why wouldn't they let it grow more, for science?

Watching something like this develop would undoubtedly provide unprecedented insight into the human condition and just the nature of life in general. It was foolish to terminate it, especially since I'm sure it was some dogmatic and abject form of ethics which fueled the decision.

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
