Human cow-embryo
My wife told me today that she read an article that some scientists had created a part-cow/part human embryo and that the embryo lived for three days. I was absolutely shocked to hear that, in fact I didn’t believe her at all! Why on earth would anyone want to do that?
But then she showed me the website she had read the article, http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23476268-38200,00.html?from=public_rss, and it sure seems that she was not lying to me! According to the story, the scientists were NOT trying to create some kind of new creature that would be roaming around the earth; they were trying to find ways to further the progress of stem cell research. So now that makes sense!
