Cloning Yields Human-Rabbit Hybrid Embryo
ralphb writes "Here is the story of scientists in China who have, for the first time, used cloning techniques to create hybrid embryos that contain a mix of DNA from both humans and rabbits. Hop on over for a look!"
My dear god, didn't any of these "scientists" ever see Night of the Lepus?!
We're all doomed!!

Be wary of any facts that confirm your opinion.
China trying to compete with Hugh and create their own Playboy Bunnies? Not to mention the potential for pleasure, knowing how rabbits multiply....

Welcome our new fuzzy over...nevermind.
Bah, what a trivial story. Let me know when they can make a monkey with four asses. THEN, I'll be impressed!

I for one welcome our new human-rabbit hybrid masters.
I will remind them that I could be useful in rounding up people to toil in their underground carrot mines.
Be you Admins? nay, we are but lusers!
"I think because all the nuclear DNA is human," Doerflinger said, "we'd consider this an organism of the human species."
Better pay attention, when you go hunting next time.
...we can breed like rabbits
Whats up doc?
... China had enough people already, without creating humans that breed like rabbits!
Don't they know that adding human DNA to rabbit embryos is a crime against nature? They should abort babies for those stem cells, the way God intended.
How many asses does it have? I suspect it's less than five.
Down with Saudi Arabia!!!

I thought China needed to control the exponential growth of their population, do they really need that? They should sell the technology to the state of Florida instead

I hear Six Flags has some Bugs Bunny openings.

Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
When are they gonna stop fooling around and start engineering Carmen Electra clones that have a thing for network admins...
According to the article, the americans have tried this earlier with cow eggs, supposedly to create a new breed of unstoppable super soldiers with mad cow disease (source: xfiles.com).
RTFA and you'll find the cells used for the DNA were a mix of rabbit skin and human foreskin. Imagine explaining that when your long-eared, buck-toothed teenager asks "Daddy, where do babies come from?"
When I am king, you will be first against the wall.
every time you bang your head you become a mass murderer?
or would you say it's a multiple suicide?
either way, I'm definitely going to hell, right?
So...It's a bunny-powered human? Does Energizer know about this?
Did anyone notice the advertiser links at the bottom of the page for Latest Stem Cell Therapy and Dwarf Rabbit?
Talk about keyword advertising gone awry!
So when are they going to cross ninjas with turtles?

The furry crowd must be mighty yiffy over this little development. :)
Of course... they're mostly yiffy all the time.....

Oh, wait. Just move on...

All this scientific research just to make Bugs Bunny a reality?
Anytime soon?
Don't they realize they've been doing this in Kentucky for a long time?

I know, what the hell's with the headlines on this story? They cloned human stem cells using rabbit cell-goo, they didn't make "rabbit-human" hybrids.
To clone human stem cells:
1) Find woman to let you jam a needle into her ovary
2) Stick random human cell nucleus in egg you sucked out
3) ???
4) Stem Cells!!
To clone human stem cells in China:
1) Look for woman to let you jam a needle into her ovary
2) Get kicked in the nads
3) Buy rabbits
4) Jam a needle in rabbit ovary
5) Stick random human cell nucleus in egg you sucked out
6) ???
7) Stem Cells!!
8) Claim to have created rabbit-babies
9) Wait for science-illiterate newsmen to promote your stock symbol on TV
10) Profit!!
What a bunch of fuckholes. Seriously, when the best scientific information in your article's coming from the Vatican, I think you're in trouble.
WHERE ARE THE SCREENSHOTS???
Can we splice some donut DNA into something, like a duck or a moose and have donut-shaped, rolly-polly ducks and... mooses? Imagine, a duck with a big round hoop on it back.
Hm.

I, for one, welcome our new Bunny-Men overlords.
Some wondered aloud what, exactly, such a creature would be if it were transferred to a womb to develop to term.
Some actually turned out ok, others not so well.
Now we don't need to kill rabbits for pregnancy tests. Women can just inject themselves with their own urine and if they die they are pregnant.
Perfect.
So the resulting cells are human cells, except that tracing the maternal line using the standard techniques would... "Your mother was a hamster!"

But where are all the 21st century equivalents of pitchforks and torches? Can't we storm the castles with some kind of laser thingy or something? Wifi? RC helicopters? Man-made diamond pitchforks?
This is supposed to be about nerd stuff. Not some 'armless little bunny-rabbit.
