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!!

Finally, babies with a healthy appetite for sex
Be wary of any facts that confirm your opinion.
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.

New Chinese policy: Only one baby rabbit per couple!
I'll do it for cheesy poofs.
They're way ahead of you. From the article:
The team said it retrieved foreskin tissue from two 5-year-old boys and two men, and facial tissue from a 60-year-old woman, as a source of skin cells. They fused those cells with New Zealand rabbit eggs from which the vast majority of rabbit DNA had been removed.

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.....

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.
Let me know when they can make a monkey with four asses.
They already can. Actually, it's five asses. The prototype one they have developed is named Darl McBride and the asses are named Sontag, Bench, Wilson, Hunsaker and Broughton
Wow! The results are impressive!
Chinese scientists announced that now they'll focus research in catgirls.
