New Animal-Human Hybrid Created

Yo.

I'm only posting this because I am seriously getting tired of all these guns threads. So here's a little something in the news today in the realm of science - scientists just created the first human-sheep hybrid.

www.sciencealert.com...

scientists have created the first interspecies sheep-human chimera, introducing human stem cells into sheep embryos, resulting in a hybrid creature that's more than 99 percent sheep – but also a tiny, little bit like you and me.

Admittedly, the human portion of the embryos created in the experiment – before they were destroyed after 28 days – is exceedingly small, but the fact it exists at all is what generates considerable controversy in this field of research.

It's not quite the Island of Doctor Moreau, though. Not yet. According to the article, actually, only one cell out of ten thousand is actually human, the rest is all sheep.

This comes right after scientists have created the first pig-human hybrids (I know, I know, the two species are actually distinct, I know it's hard to believe), with the same pretense - uh, I mean, "goal" of making easier organs source.

While still early days, the experiment might one day lead to lab-grown human organs that can be transplanted into those who need them, potentially saving thousands of lives.

This is a proof-of-concept experiment showing that human-pig hybrids are possible. The ultimate goal is to find a way to use these lab-grown human parts for transplants.

Which comes after scientists have created human-cow hybrids.

On a not so unrelated news, a cow beauty pageant contest is being held in Germany.

Methinks some beauty pageants were just jealous of cows getting the awards instead of them...

No, NO say it isn't so

Man, I guess we get be drug through that misery.....I was hopin....but no

I think this is a stupid idea. Who comes up with this stuff? This is blurring the lines in unconventional ways.

If it's partially a human, that begs a very, very serious question.




Does it have the right to own a gun?

Lol well played, sir.

twilight zone ep is becoming reality

On a side note, thanks for creating this thread. I am also getting tired of all of the political threads.

Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed that. I get off work for the weekend in an hour, so I've just been trying to get laughs for myself till then.

The above thread link is about human cow hybrid;

Now some other scientists made a human sheep hybrid.

Different institute, different project, different time.

only in the USA ...duh

My bad .. sorry

a reply to: swanne

Yea sorry ..

a reply to: nofear39

No prob, mate.

Looks like there's really some progress which had been done since this cow thing. I cannot help but feel awkward about the whole idea though.

(You could have left your link up, it actually showed how it all started )

Reposted for you 😁

That was cow-humans, this is sheep-human hybrids.

eta: Here is your link back! ATS, 2006: Human-cow hybrids?

Hey Swanne! Wake me when they get to ManBearPig! I'm cereal!

Thanks for posting this! The march of science is strange, cool, and terrifying, all at the same time! The cow-human one was for embryo research (so they say). This one says "organ donor" is the end goal. Hum? I thought CRISPR was supposed be the latest, greatest thing to come down the turnpike.

Is this an either/or thing, or do you think both techs live side by side?

a reply to: nofear39

Thanks!

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

Lol, ManBearPig, yeah, I too would LOVE to see that!

To be honest, I can't help but feel the organ thing is just a pretense; that there is another reason why they're so obsessed with integrating human into animals... Or eventually animal into human.

I've been half-man-half-beast since the day I was born.

Yea I did notice .. so did Swannie but thanks for your concern 😁
