UK government opens the door to animal/human hybrid research
Look out: science is about to get crazy. The UK government is rethinking their laws on hybrid embryos, possibly allowing for experiments on human/animal hybrids if approved by regulators. Yes, in the near future people might be creating half-man/half-tigers or something like that.
Well, not really. In reality, they're talking about 99.9% human embryos with animal genes spliced in to provide immunity to diseases and things of that nature, although it does open the door to more extreme experimentation. And despite how much we might want it, there isn't going to be any work done on mixing our genes with fish to give us gills or anything like that in the near future. But eventually, my friends. Eventually.

LOL...Yea, I was thinking the same thing exactly. My guess is not too many people on here have read that though. Maybe it'll be our inside joke. :o)

omg this is really ugly... i dont think that would be a good idea to have hybrid in the future.. It looks quite scary and spoilt. Hmm.. I dont know..

that would be dumb because in the future these things might take over and out run humans did you not see planet of the apes

Its a sculpture, the artist looks at lots of things like anthopromotpism. (not spelt that right probably) How shes done the skin is amazing!! The back of the model is unbelieveable too.

that thing is weird looking but im going to have to see some proof that its real because some one couldve photo shopped that. it looks like a pig thingy. in reality our bodies would resent the genes of a diferent animal eventually. and in the end killing the host. so the whole thing is rediculous. its a model. so reality overrules this idea and statement.
