I'm sure by now everybody's seen that photoshopped picture (or sculpture?) of this thing that looks like it's half-dog, half-human and half-pig or something. Obviously that's fake, but I read in the comments section at YouTube that there's actually animal-human hybrid experiments being conducted.

Sounds stupid, I know.

But I started Googling and this came up...

"Chinese scientists at the Shanghai Second Medical University in 2003 successfully fused human cells with rabbit eggs. The embryos were reportedly the first human-animal chimeras successfully created. They were allowed to develop for several days in a laboratory dish before the scientists destroyed the embryos to harvest their stem cells."

"What... is the law?"

I know, I know. I've already seen conspiracy theorist vids on YouTube about this. But that's not how I stumbled upon this subject. Oddly enough I was Googling Ebola and biolabs (weird, I know; but I've always kinda been fascinated with that subject and used to tell my mom from time to time that I wanted to work in the CDC in the 'Hot Zone'), and I ended up at YouTube watching a BioLab video, and in the side panel I saw something about a 'human dog'; I clicked on it because frankly, I always click on weird shit...and it's there in the comments section that I saw this animal-hybrid stuff. I immediately went, "Bullshit!", but looked it up anyway out of curiosity. It's when I did that that I found actual, legitimate, non-conspiracy theorist links from established media outlets to back up what these people said.

Honestly, I think it is something that the public at large should be paying attention to and should be concerned about because it calls up a lot of issues; ethics, animal rights/cruelty, as well as human rights - when you have a living entity that is part-human, and part animal and you kill it for its organs...is that really ethical or fair to that living being?

Then there's the disease aspect; when you cross the species barrier and start making living entities like that, that could cause all kinds of stuff. Diseases that were at one point specific to a particular species, jumping to another...all kinds of things could happen.

that shit scares me

science goes too far when they play with life it's like they have run out of ideas and messing with life is all they can think of doing.....

i dont want to call them dick heads cause i am sure they already thought of making one of those

I believe they've already mastered this hybrid.

Sad to say, but frankly i'm surprised this is still news to some people.

Yeah, actually it's completely and totally new to me.

I knew about the whole cloning thing with Dolly, but I had no clue they were actually doing this stuff.

Hey you!

If you guys haven't seen it already, check out the movie "Splice", it's pretty good, although at first it probably had the opposite effect of what the writer intended; early on in the movie I suddenly changed my mind and thought this hybrid thing was the coolest idea, ever...until they got to the end.

That movie was just WOW. The ending was

If this has begun then it's just a matter of time (if not already happening) that we plunge down the slippery slope to human cloning.

As if we need men who cum any faster...

I thought this thread was about fantasy creatures like centaurs.

This has been around since the war, apparently Stalin had created the idea of half man, half ape automatons that would work hard for the state, but not be intelligent enough to demand too many civic rights and Hitler and the Nazis were thinking of making a race of hard working automatons that lived in dark caves who never saw daylight and have no idea of a days length and continue to build machines and do dogsbody work for the third reich. Just some stuff I heard, and aparently they had started using POW's and Death camp internees to do this work.

If they're already making pigs that have human blood, and cows or sheep that produce human breast milk (which, they are), then I honestly believe there's no way they aren't secretly doing human cloning.

All the press reports say that the true human-animals hybrid they make in the labs, are destroyed early on as embryos, and that they don't even make any more of them in some countries, but frankly I don't buy either of those.

Hours ago I was Googling this and already saw where they had started some procedure a few years ago, some new kind of in-vitro type thing...where in a couple of cases, the babies ended up with DNA from three different people, their mom, their dad and the surrogate.

In general, they're doing a lot of new stuff scientifically that most of us have no clue about. I read article after article on the Discovery News site like : , they're doing things you'd think were impossible, they've already discovered how to make man-made DNA....
