The project proves that human cells can be introduced into a non-human organism, survive, and even grow inside a host animal, in this case, pigs.

Zambroski Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Yeah, read that. Was kind of appalled but there are those that think there is some good medical research behind it. So, I still don't think that shit like this is justified though. If nobody thinks these disturbed mad scientists aren't planning to bring this creature into the world where it will spend it's miserable life in a cage being bled, poked and prodded until death when it is dissected is an idiot. Sad to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have mixed feelings That's apparently one of the biggest medical research areas at the moment. Looking at why some animals can grow new body parts. Imagine if someone were to lose a leg or an arm and they were able to grow a new one as part of the healing process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
