Human-Animal Hybrids Fail 554
SailorSpork writes "Fans of furries and anime-style cat girls will be disappointed by the news that attempts to create human animal hybrids have failed. Experiments by British scientists to create embryonic stem cells by putting human DNA into cow or rabbit eggs had raised ethical concerns, but the question of how we would treat sub-humans will have to wait until we actually figure out how to make them."

Rabbit eggs? I guess the easter bunny has to make money somehow in the off-season.

Guess I'll have to go with my backup plan to hack into a government mainframe and accidentally create Kelly LeBrock during a lightning storm. ;)

Hierarchy of geekdom. Published scifi authors at the top, furries at the bottom, erotic furries below that.

More people accept cows dying for the benefit of humans than apes. Simple as that, you all suck!

Have you ever seen a cats tongue and teeth or rabbit teeth? I don't want those any where near my privates. And how does a furry shave? I don't want cat/rabbit hair in my mouth. The eight breasts might be difficult to design lingerie for. Ok I think I have to take a shower now.

No wonder it doesn't work. Cows don't even lay eggs!! Must be the UN scientists...

If you want government grants for this kind of stuff, sure. Your funding comes from taxpayers, they have to approve it. If it's a matter of some guy creating human-animal hybrids on his own personal island, I don't see that it's anyone else's business.

If you've got to neuter your cat-girl then something went VERY wrong.

I call bullshit on this right out the gate.
There is NO SUCH THING as a fan of a furry.
None.
Furries are mocked and persecuted throughout the internets. In real life, parents (realizing that it is too late to leave them hobbled in the woods) disown them. The feeble-minded openly deride them. Even juggaloes cannot abide the presence of furries.
I understand the occasional grammar or spelling mixup. I really do. But to allow such an egregious error to be posted is on par with a summary detailing the efforts of General Fred Rogers leading his unicorn cavalry against the Mongolian horde.
