These are chimera, where you have multiple DNA. So it's a pig that also has Macaque DNA, not some mythical half pig, half monkey creature.

quote:

Chinese scientists have successfully bred monkey-pig hybrids as part of research into the growth of human organs for transplantation in animals.

Although the two chimera piglets died within a week of being born, both were found to have DNA from macaque monkeys in their heart, liver, spleen, lung and skin.

...Ten piglets were born, of which two were chimeras.

The monkey cells made up only one in 1,000 and one in 10,000 of the remaining pig cells.

The scientists are aiming to repeat the experiments to create healthy animals with higher concentrations of monkey DNA and to eventually reproduce an animal with an organ containing only monkey DNA.

It’s amazing that the great and mighty and super smart Chinese weren’t able to figure out icbm guidance on their own. I mean combining monkeys and pigs is definitely a priority amongst all scientists.

Had to use monkey because pig and elephant DNA just won't splice.

I'm not sure if this is sarcastic or not, but in case it is, this actually is a pretty big deal in science. The obvious long term goal here is to transform pork organs from being a source of McRibs into being a source of human transplant organs.

ChiComs dont plan on beating us with conventional war

hippa laws don't apply to them, they've been stockpiling our medical records, they develop some viral shite aimed at western genetics and it back and wait

Thats why they starting drinking milk for the first time in histoy to start building immunity to our shite

Terrific news. I can't hit long irons anymore - hybrids saved my golf game.

Wasn't this a Dorito commercial in last year's Superbowl. If I was Lay's, I would sue them for trademark infringement.



Not that it is that important, but did the monkey screw the pig, or did the pig screw the monkey? Most here know they all look good at closing time.
