I wonder if science can create a Democrat with conservative blood flowing through her body?

And would the effect be permanent, or last only until the 1st Tuesday in November, 2008?

Wow...soon they'll have freaks that make Michael Jackson look normal. It's stories like this that make me glad I'm 'old'.

Looks like a new geneeration of Democratic voters.

Give me large swift wings of an eagle or osprey, speed of a cheetah, and power of a gorilla :D

I'd consider buying a centaur or two. How much are they?

This is very dangerous stuff. Breeding animals with custom human parts for use in transplant surgery is OK. Letting the animals breed or exist outside the lab is monsterous.

In this article, biotechnology activist Jeremy Rifkin says,
"One doesn't have to be religious or into animal rights to think this doesn't make sense," he continued. "It's the scientists who want to do this. They've now gone over the edge into the pathological domain."

Agreed, Jeremy.

[Petronski]

This is monstrous.

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.

I guess they had to destroy them, considering the overpopulation problem China already has...

Yes, but can you marry them?

This opens up some intriguing possibilities. It also opens Pandora's box. Genetic manipulation and splicing can be exciting issues but if not governed by a set of ethics and laws it can create monsters or worse. To completely ban something because we don't understand it is wrong but then so is playing God with a power we do not fully understand yet. This looks like it could boil up into something that won't be good for anyone.
