A human-pig hybrid embryo has been created in a world first (Tr.)

Part human, part pig embryos have been successfully created by scientists for the first time.

The embryos, that were grown inside a sow, contained a 'low' amount of human tissue.

But it is hoped one day this technique will allow whole organs in the pig to be grown of human cells, to tackle the increasing shortage of organs for transplants. The ‘chimera’, or human-animal hybrid, was created by injecting human stem cells into pig embryos and then implanting them in a sow.

The human stem cells grew and formed part of the tissue of the pig embryos, although they did not become piglets as they were removed at 28 days.

The amount of human tissue that grew in the pig embryos was ‘low’, researchers said.

In the 1950s or 1960s the S-F writer Cordwainer Smith predicted hybrids he called Underpeople, animals in human form, bred to perform servile functions.

Then Theresa May and President Trump need to put a stop to this.

Why not a horse-man hybrid? The first centaur.

For starters, genesis 1:25---

"And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good."

This is a mixing of things that shouldn't be mixed. No good can come from this and you don't need a Bible to know that. The Chinese Communists using this tech- the North Koreans- oh yes, Utopia here we come.

Like the days of Noah, we may have an attempt to pollute the image of God in men, by seeing a race of part-”human” and part-animal people.

The last time, we got a Flood. The next time, Fire.

I think I saw this at carnival in the 70’s. Or was it a frog-boy?

“This is a mixing of things that shouldn’t be mixed.”

What are your verses for this?

Man was given dominion over the animals and creation to use for our benefit.

I think you misunderstand the purpose of this sort of research (understandably given the media distortion).

And, I am not specifically addressing the study reported in this article, per se.

Oh, I’m not so sure about that. England may be the ones who went public, but I have my suspicions.

Remember, back in 20014 John Edwards said Republicans didn’t want Superman to walk again.

How terrible. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. This is an abomination.

This isn’t that or trying to be.

Science fiction in general is silly.

Exactly. It was the messing of the human genome that cause God to send the flood. Only Noah and his family were "perfect in their generations"- in their genes. Everyone else was drowned. If that part of you which makes you human is edited out- that thing that connects you to God disappears- then there is no hope for you, and poof. I think this is what the Mark of the Beast really is- to become a part of Satan's family.

Of Eve, God said- "Her seed will crush your seed." He's talking about genes. I think the Mark will be a lie- take this shot and get super powers, be transformed like a Marvel Superhero, but in reality, you'll become a monster. I don't think it's a coincidence that the Antichrist is also called "The Beast."- "The Animal."

Scientists behind the horrific creation were filled with fear when on of the horrible chimeras escaped and was seen running for President but, thankfully President Trump defeated pig-woman. The creature is still loose and shows a fondness for purple pantsuits.
