Human-Animal Hybrids Fail

Posted by timothy on from the good-help-hard-to-find dept.

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."

    The fundamental difference is that these scientists are fabricating new lifeforms in a laboratory. By your ridiculous standard, I'm playing God whenever I change the oil in my car because I am sustaining its viable existence.
