Green Light for Human/Animal Hybrids
Henneshoe writes "BBC News is reporting that two research facilities have been given the green light to create part human, part animal embryos. According the the report, 'Scientists want to create hybrid embryos by merging human cells with animal eggs in a bid to extract stem cells. The embryos would then be destroyed within 14 days.' The decision to allow the embryos was made after research showed that people in large are OK with the idea."

Sure they did. They rooted for the fly.

Especially if they are in Neko Mimi Mode.
You were half right with that. I hear the Dems were considering his likeness for their logo.
Resistance is futile. Your technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. You will become one with the morgue
Something half pig, half manbear must come out of this.

Will there be overlords?
No.
So, it is not cruel when one does not "appreciate" or "experience" pain? You could then sedate a person to the point of being incapable of doing either in order to morally kill them? Your argument is stupid and you know it, so why bother posting it?
If it dances like a Tauren I'll uphold it as my new god.

Virginia is for lovers. EVE is for griefers.
I hear you. It is disgusting that people badmouth these scientist who are in reality working hard to create human-cat hybrids to star in live action versions of japanese anime shows.
Forget magic. Any technology distinguishable from divine power is insufficiently advanced.
Don't be too hasty, now... I've heard that throwing rocks is a great reliever of stress, and and excellent source of exercise!
