Manbearpig

Half man, half bear, half pig. Well, not really. But UK scientists have managed to create Britain's first part-human, part-animal embryos - creating a human-cow hybrid. Of course it operates only on small cellular level, so we won't be having man-cows around any time soon. Interestingly enough, however, between the lines it was easy to read that this is not ground-breaking research but has actually been done by US and Chinese scientists before some time ago.

To me this was news. I didn't know we can do this already. Albeit, there are many things I didn't know we can do. Seems science has stepped way further beyond the threshold of fiction than I thought. Well, I suppose it'll lead to scientific discoveries and we'll all live a very, very long and happy lives thanks to it.

Unless man-cow kills us all!

So, 'will it blend?' is not really the question anymore. Now we should be asking'Should we blend it?' but that is a totally different question and I won't even go into the ethics behind genetics and all things involved. Those are questions too big for us small mortals. Let the immortals decide!
