summary:
Scientists are trying to merge human and farm animal embryos in hopes of reproducing organs for transplants. However, the project's funding has been blocked due to ethical problems and dangerous implications. Some researchers worry that the fusion of a pig, for example, and a human embryo will trigger human brain cell growth in the pig and affect its cognitive state or create a horror movie- like creature that is part pig and part human. For these reasons, scientists still hold the project at bay.
analysis:
This subject is rather funky. The idea in itself sounds beneficial, but when you think of the consequences and implications of the experiments, it seems too far-fetched.
