Human-Animal Hybrids Fail
SailorSpork writes "Fans of furries and anime-style cat girls will be disappointed by the news that attempts to create human animal hybrids have failed. Experiments by British scientists to create embryonic stem cells by putting human DNA into cow or rabbit eggs had raised ethical concerns, but the question of how we would treat sub-humans will have to wait until we actually figure out how to make them."
I believe that, at least in the case of cat-girls and bunny-girls, that question has already been answered.

Rabbit eggs? I guess the easter bunny has to make money somehow in the off-season.
My one hope for not dying a virgin geek...crushed like a grape under a giant anthromorphic fighting robot's foot. I'm doomed...
Guess I'll have to go with my backup plan to hack into a government mainframe and accidentally create Kelly LeBrock during a lightning storm. ;)

You mean we can't!?
Dammit guess I'll stop my nightly reactor core exposure sessions...:(

Hierarchy of geekdom. Published scifi authors at the top, furries at the bottom, erotic furries below that.

The chimps wouldn't hold still while the scientists tried to have sex with them.
Have gnu, will travel.
i, for one, welcome our new giraffe overlords, and would like to remind them that as a trusted member of the media i can be helpful in rounding up people to taunt in their underground sugar caves.
and there is a demand for cow humans, and cows are sexy?
"Just" elected? No, man, that was eight years ago.
Vaginas? You don't nearly watch enough porn.
In todays environment two assholes would make more sense, or maybe three, or maybe asshole coupled together with mouth at each entry for easy A2M. Assholes with teeths?
More people accept cows dying for the benefit of humans than apes. Simple as that, you all suck!
Anyone else read the title of this Slashdot story, and thought it was about how much anime and furry fans fail? ;)
Clearly, you haven't watched enough Cow and Chicken.
"putting human DNA into cow or rabbit eggs"
No wonder it doesn't work. Cows don't even lay eggs!! Must be the UN scientists...
I, for one, welcome all the excess catboys. They can have a sanctuary from fursecution in the relative safety of my home.

You haven't played WoW recently, have you? Those Tauren babes . . . well, let's just say they serve a damn fine milkshake, if you know what I mean.
I'm fine with people sorting ethics out in their own minds. It's when they start saying "hey, you can't do this unless and until I think it's OK" that I have a problem.
If you want government grants for this kind of stuff, sure. Your funding comes from taxpayers, they have to approve it. If it's a matter of some guy creating human-animal hybrids on his own personal island, I don't see that it's anyone else's business.
The point of the hybrids mentioned isn't to make freakish movie monsters or vile fringe-wank material
Now he tells me. I'm off to drop out of my graduate genetics program.
And more to the point, if we can't use the technology to give ourselves night-vision eyesight, superstrength and the like, what's the point?
I would like to propose an addendum to Rule 34.
If you can imagine it, there is porn and a wiki for it.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I call bullshit on this right out the gate.
There is NO SUCH THING as a fan of a furry.
None.
Furries are mocked and persecuted throughout the internets. In real life, parents (realizing that it is too late to leave them hobbled in the woods) disown them. The feeble-minded openly deride them. Even juggaloes cannot abide the presence of furries.
I understand the occasional grammar or spelling mixup. I really do. But to allow such an egregious error to be posted is on par with a summary detailing the efforts of General Fred Rogers leading his unicorn cavalry against the Mongolian horde.

No, I don't know what you mean, thank God!
We cannot handle the truth. It is us who are hybrids of apes and pigs.
I'm not too sure you understand the premise.
No sig today...
