First Human-Pig Hybrid Created in the Lab

a reply to: NarcolepticBuddha

But for today I shall judge it @%$#ing bizarre!

Agreed!

Are they making cops? I remember when some people called cops pigs.

How old would this human-pig have to be before it's organs would be the right size for human transplants? Let them live 3 to 12 years in a cage before you kill them.

Cruel and unusual punishment.

If this becomes accepted practice we will be killing people for their organs like China has been doing for 40 years.

So that guy with the wild hair was right?

They already use pig parts..heart valve for instance, it does not suffer rejection and no blood thinners for life needed as you would need with an artificial valve..only good for about 15 years though.

It's a pig man, Jerry!

Seriously. Why?

soooo disturbed ...

No thanks, doc. I refuse to prolong my life with pig-hybrid harvested parts.

I suspect you will sing a different tune if you need a sudden heart transplant.

or, standard bacon, pork chop, and ham making methods...but with an added bonus of now using their organs vs flush em.

This experiment went horribly wrong on it's first attempt. Rosie McDonald resulted. Maybe this new round will be more successful.

No doubt about that, my boss had the pig valve installed, much happier and a new lease on life, well for about 15 yrs..he is in his 70s so 15 years sounded about right. Blood thinners for life is no fun.

Is that you Donald Tiny Hand's?

I'm doubting it's the first chimera Human-Pig. Might just the first being reported.

Pig heart valves used in humans are nothing new.

Biological (tissue) valves are taken from pig, cow, or human donors. These valves don't last as long as mechanical valves. But when tissue valves are used, long-term use of an anticoagulant often isn't needed.

Maybe it can help the valves last longer and make other tissues can become useful

Hey! That's very VERY UNFAIR!!

He's self reflecting again

Our reservations are why it will take a while. That's a good thing. Caution saves lives everyday. Arthur C. Clarke said one day we might get replaced by something. Who knows what. He said most of the species ever existed on Earth--like 99%---are gone. The earth changed and became hostile to the old and friendly to the new. He said we should be proud to be part of the ascension of life to higher forms. I have to imagine whatever we become, we'll take a memory of history with us, so it's not all forgotten. We'll interpret it differently than we do now, but that's just how it's. We'll do a lot of things. A kind of time travel maybe? Cross the cosmos and the places between dimensions, if they exist? Wherever we haven't went yet we'll probably go. We can't know all that will happen. We can only know that lifeforms--biological or not--have similarities. So a piece of what we're now we'll always exist somewhere sometime. It's a piece of eternity.

I like to listen to music when I can't know:

Is it possible to use this new technology to clone a mate for Michael Moore....same species.

NO , world doesnt need that to reproduce .

Beyond sick, on so many levels!! Organs can be grown from stem cells, with no need for such an abomination as this to be created, and harvested.

They want slaves, part-human slaves, to use as they wish, worse than cattle.

How are they going to keep peoples' bodies from rejecting them? It's already hard enough to get transplants from other humans.

I suppose because they would be made from the DNA of the person who needs the replacement....

This is the future of the Elite Police Force ?

I thought the first ones were created on Plum Island....I could be wrong though. Just a thought.

South Park is way ahead of science...
