UK Approves Human-Pig Embryo Stem-Cell Harvest
An anonymous reader writes "British biologists have received government approval to create the world's first human stem cells from hybrid embryos, part pig, part human. The Warwick Medical School team, led by Justin St. John of the Clinical Sciences Research Institute, was granted the country's third animal-human embryo license from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, which goes into effect today (July 1)."

I *do* taste like bacon! Why do you ask?
Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.
Why not half man and half bearpig? That's the approval we're looking for!
I can't wait until my kid takes highschool biology and has to dissect a pig-man embryo.
Sometimes the best solution is to stop wasting time looking for an easy solution.
This is obviously the work of the Daleks.
I can't wait until this technology becomes available on the mass market.
I'm going to release all my hybrids under the GPL because I like to give back to the community.

Yes. One definitely prevents someone from tasting like bacon.

Caveat Utilitor
They get the 30 minute orgasms, and they have the hands... well, you get the picture.
They also get to eat all they want, and they probably don't mind being called "pigs".
That's because our diets are very similar (omniverous) as well as many aspects of our biochemistry.
Personally after civilization falls I'll be eating the vegans first though. Grain and veggie fed free range vegan...mmmm.
We got em here in Phoenix. They're 300lbs and ride around on electric scooters.
If you believe the feminazis, men are pigs already.
Circumcision is child abuse.
