Haven't we been down this road before with gene splicing. Look at john merick, and the reptile woman, n the wolfman. All freaks of nature. A lot of these hybreds ended up being locked away after the fad ad died. Because they were to hideous to be allowed to be seen and to live in public. They were, you could say the lucky ones. A awful lot were flushed down into the sewer system mostly alive and some dead.

Old news, but I thought it was of interest:

Yesterday, researchers published a paper in the journal Cell announcing that they had successfully produced the first human-pig chimeran embryo that contains cells from two genetically distinct species. The controversial study is the first step in growing human organs in non-human host animals for transplantation.
According to Hannah Devlin at The Guardian, the research was led by a team at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, California. The scientists transformed cells from an adult human into stem cells, then injected those into early-stage pig embryos. These embryos were then implanted into female pigs where they were allowed to develop for three to four weeks, what amounts to the first trimester of a pig pregnancy.

This type of sh*t always gets two really strong opinions from the ones who think it's a great scientific breakthrough, and the ones against it. I'm the one who is all for science and research and development esp if it means saving lives, but ethically I'm not sure. But we obviously use animals for food and work so ethically it could be argued like that. My biggest concern tho is the unexpected issues that may rise up from two distinct life forms.

Hey look on the bright side....if you're all up for it then in the near future you could have sex with male dogs...instead of your current habit of having sex with male humans so yay a big up for science and research and genetic engineering fuuckin bullshiit * +
