So according to science, human/animal hybrids just won’t work. One Robert Lanza, scientific director of Advanced Cell Technologies and his team have been at it, trying to find alternate ways of getting stem cells. It’s all about taking the nucleus of an egg and swapping it out with another nucleus (animal or human). If done right the egg splits as if it where fertilized by sperm and start to become an embryo. But in the ones that are part human and part animal, the embryo stop dividing after a certain point. Apparently, the genes in the egg start to get switched off if another nucleus is planted in side it. Sort of like mother natures fail safe for this sort of thing.

The scary thing is that experiments like this have been going on for decades and number in the thousands. But we all know it’s only a matter of time before someone get’s it right. The biggest problem I have with all of this is that these new human animal hybrids will only be used as spare parts. They’ll never know a real life. Plus how scary would it be to know they you’re the only one of your kind, only made to push science forward.

So yeah… I can’t say that I’m a fan of this. It does make me sad that the prospect of cats girls though will never be a reality…. sigh…

What’s you take on this?
