First Human-Pig Hybrid Created

[GhostLatte]

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.

Furries soon.

Furries soon.

I was thinking more like Animal Farm.

We are all going to be replaced by pigmen. Save yourself

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?

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

are you...saying were dumber than a pig?!

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.

Did you even read the article? Here is the very first line:

Scientists hope the chimera embryos represent key steps toward life-saving lab-grown organs.

brace yourselves...for the glorious future!

I'll get invested in this story as soon as they ad bear into the mix to create ManBearPig.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Sigh, why does it have to be a pig?

 

[FireGrey]

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.
