Was made in a lab?

He's got a good physique but still he's as attractive as a crushed hyena on a highway.:chica:

Besides just organ transplants this alway soaves the way for potential therapeutic intervention for patients with mitochondrial disease. I'm surprised they haven't looked into more about that since treating mitochondrial diseases would just revolve around fixing the maternal mDNA. Very cool stuff though! 

:giveup:

And for the people who are freaked out, scientific chimeras are not animals that are going to look like the stuff in sci-fi movies :neyde:

Literally, if an animal manages to pick up another animal species' genetic information and incorporate into their own (with the help of a retrovirus, etc.) that would be considered a chimera. :neyde:

I think I'm here for it.

I mean, once the experiments truly bears fruit, and an actual hybrid/chimera is created and fully born, I'm excited to see where we can go from there and how this research can be expanded.

The social debate around this research is going to be a mess, but we're never going to progress or go on thriving as a species if we don't keep breaking boundaries, discovering new ones, and breaking them too.

Umm... wouldn't the resulting organism be part human part animal? So which set of rights does it get? Obviously less rights than either humans or animals, considering they'll 'grow' a creature, just to kill it and harvest it's organs. Will it be a true hybrid, or just a pig with human organs?..

I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

From what I understand, it'll be a pig with human organs.

Which, for now, is probably best.

I love this!!! 

I always knew Science will push more boundaries in the near future. So happy I'm only 20, I have so much more time ahead of me to see all of this happens.

:applause:

So we're going to start growing animals as incubators, take their organs and kill them when we have no need for them?

Why don't we just start growing nameless humans in isolation for the same purpose? You're all passionate about advancing science beyond boundaries?

Really hard to judge this. For one thing, they're trying to help humanity. On another perpsective, they're altering the natural flow of...uhmm :gum: animal genes. Don't know what it's called :sweat:

 

Still hoping for that day when magic, dragons, dinosaurs and flying broomsticks can exist :giveup:
