I've finally found a Human Animal Hybrid

[acmejack]

Apparently they are trying to create a human-cow egg hybrid embryo in Britian.

UK scientists have applied for permission to create embryos by fusing human DNA with cow eggs.

Researchers from Newcastle University and Kings College, London, have asked the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority for a three-year licence.

The hybrid human-bovine embryos would be used for stem cell research and would not be allowed to develop for more than a few days.

But critics say it is unethical and potentially dangerous.

1. Moo?

4. Thank goodness this hasn't here....at least before this election.

If a court ruling won't activate the Rovebots...THIS WOULD!!!

6. Shit, this would activate me.

How entirely evil. If such a creature were created--would it be a human with cow-level intelligence? A cow with civil rights? Why go thru the bother of cloning a deformed imbecile... as if we didn't have enough of them appear in the gene pool by natural means.

12. Human with cow-level intelligence?

We've already got millions of those in this country.

5. How udderly moovelous

7. Meanwhile, in China and N. Korea

they're working on human/tiger hybrids.

In Britain they're working on LUNCH for the human/tiger hybrids.

See how this works?

I'm half-joking.

Guess which half.

8. Here they are.

Actually, they've been creating hybrids for a long time. Mostly by putting human genes into e. coli in order to make them produce such substances as insulin and human growth hormone. But why pass up a chance to create hysteria about something?

9. Are you sure it wasn't Whitecaste University?

10. I think this is the most fucked up thing I have ever heard in my life...
