A human-pig hybrid embryo has been created in a world first (Tr.)

Part human, part pig embryos have been successfully created by scientists for the first time.

The embryos, that were grown inside a sow, contained a 'low' amount of human tissue.

But it is hoped one day this technique will allow whole organs in the pig to be grown of human cells, to tackle the increasing shortage of organs for transplants. The ‘chimera’, or human-animal hybrid, was created by injecting human stem cells into pig embryos and then implanting them in a sow.

The human stem cells grew and formed part of the tissue of the pig embryos, although they did not become piglets as they were removed at 28 days.

The amount of human tissue that grew in the pig embryos was ‘low’, researchers said.

There are people who worry about the Ozone layer, Acid rain, Global Warming/Cooling/Climate Change- but genetic tinkering actually worries me.

Not just toying around with cells, but there is also the Crispir Device. If you're not familiar with it, it is a process by which genomes may be simply edited. It is the stuff of horror movies. You can put this equipment in your garage, in fact here is a line from the business home page I just linked to--

"Our easy-to-use, optimized and validated solutions span the entire cell engineering workflow, making genome editing accessible to anyone at any level. We offer our state of the art online CRISPR search and design tool along with CRISPR-Cas9 in four formats; Cas9 protein, Cas9 mRNA, all-in-one expression vector, and CRISPR Libraries paired with the optimal cell culture reagents, delivery method, and analysis tools based on your application and cell type."

It's no a matter of this stuff getting into the wrong hands, it's all over the world now. Who knows what has already been made. Scary, scary stuff.

Oh,this is gonna be fun!

How about NO.

Krammer Was Right! They ARE Making A Race Of “Pig-Men”!

Human-pig? Didn’t one just run for President?

Train them to invade Iran!

This is not good. IMO

They’re going to cure cancer with this in 10 years. (It’s always 10 years.) The lame will walk- oh, and they’ll have half man-half pig workers at Amazon.

[stevio]

This is an abomination!

President Trump needs to put a stop to this.

[ifinnegan]

Don’t worry. This article is distorted nonsense.

It is the global warmists and the like to worry about. They want to implement their socialist vision.

Biotech wants to save your life in a real and direct way.

Especially when something like that ends up in a sperm bank.

To all Christians, this type of experimentation should be blasphemy of the worst kind.

“President Trump needs to put a stop to this.”

It’s in England.

People wonder what would have to happen in the world to make Lord Jesus come back to Earth— I think technology like this would make Him get off His throne. We’re probably much closer now.

I’ll bet when he gets to be a teen his room will be a stye.

“To all Christians, this type of experimentation should be blasphemy of the worst kind.”

What is the argument using Biblical authority?

[lightman]

Positively Orwellian a la Animal Farm.

Moral Absolutes ping!

YES. Create thousands to combat Radical Islamic Terrorism.
