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....
Tequila: It's not just for breakfast anymore!
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!
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.
Wizard: It's a horrible beast.
King Arthur: What, you mean behind the bunny rabbit?
Wizard: It IS the bunny rabbit?
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...
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!
As for rabbits... couldn't they have picked a cooler species to intermix with? Wolves, cheetahs (fast sprinters for the Olympics!), bears... hmph. Definitely not primates though... anyone seeing 28 Days Later should put the kibosh on that one.
I'd have a personalized plate on my car, but "toxic bachelor" won't fit into 7 letters.
So when are they going to cross ninjas with turtles?

Now we finally know why Anya was so afraid of rabbits... She saw their future as our masters...
The furry crowd must be mighty yiffy over this little development. :)
Of course... they're mostly yiffy all the 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.
Wow! The results are impressive!
Chinese scientists announced that now they'll focus research in catgirls.

Oh great, now Bugs Bunny will also be able to run for Governor of Califorina.
