Bah. Popeye had one of these years ago!
It's all His nonsense....
WHOSE brain is being used????? Yuck! How horrifying!
In all seriousness... this is an area you'd want to avoid. Even though the bits wouldn't strictly speakign be carved from a human, and thus it wouldn't *exactly* be canibalism... you wouldn't want to give some chimera-bacon to someone, have them say, "Hey! This tastes a little different... but it's *really* *good*! Where can I get more?"
"...Are You a Man or a Mouse?..."
Throw some cheese on the floor and find out.
> It makes you wonder when God is going to pull the plug on this nonsense.
Probably the moment the superstitius take over and stop all science. At that point, humanity would cease to have a future anyway, so you might as well cancel the experiment.
Sheesh. I'm sure there were people just as aghast at the idea of heart transplants, blood transfusions, vaccinations...
LOL! Best answer!
Where will the chimera-pigs live...seperate housing from non-chimera? How would someone know the difference, would they have to ask prior to eating?
Pan
by Ryan Tuccinardi
The Greek god of shepherds and flocks, who was especially popular in Arcadia. He is a son of the god Hermes. He was depicted as a satyr with a reed pipe, a shepherd's crook and a branch of pine or crown of pine needles. He had a wrinkled face with a very prominent chin. On his forehead were two horns and his body was hairy. He was a swift runner and climbed rocks with ease. Pan belonged to the retinue of Dionysus.
Pan was also a god of fertility, unbridled male sexuality and carnal desire. He chased nymphs through the forests and mountains in the shape of a goat. Pan was not very liked by the other Greek gods.

Satyrs
by Micha F. Lindemans
In Greek mythology the satyrs are deities of the woods and mountains. They are half human and half beast; they usually have a goat's tail, flanks and hooves. While the upper part of the body is that of a human, they also have the horns of a goat. They are the companions of Dionysus, the god of wine, and they spent their time drinking, dancing, and chasing nymphs. The Italian version of the satyr is the faun, while the Slavic version is the Ljeschi.

I keep thinking of "The Fly", (the original): Help Meeee, Help Meeeeee.
> Where will the chimera-pigs live...
In research facilities, no doubt. Quite possibly they'd be manufactured upon demand rather than bred.
I think it's wise to remember God told the Israelites: "You are to keep my statues. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle...: Lev. 19:19
The ideas that injecting human brain cell material into a mouse foetus will turn it into an intelligent mouse, or some sort of percentile-human, is ludicrous.
Statements like "this mouse will therefore be 1% human" are non-scientific gibberish. It will be a mouse which someone messed with at conception. Inject away! It won't be a human. Knock yourself out.
That would be awful if they ever got loose and procreated...we could end up eating a relative!!
Anybody else watch last week's South Park? Matt and Trey ahead of the curve as usual.
Most Humans don't know socialism is slavery by government yet..

No hybrid cows?
> I think it's wise to remember God told the Israelites: "You are to keep my statues. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle
Response 1: We're talking humans and mice, not cows.
Response 2: So... breeding better moo-cows is a sin? How about dog breeding?
Response 3: We're not Israelites.
