"In a remarkable—if likely controversial—feat, scientists announced today that they have created the first successful human-animal hybrids. 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."
"This biomedical advance has long been a dream and a quandary for scientists hoping to address a critical shortage of donor organs."
"The team created what’s known scientifically as a chimera: an organism that contains cells from two different species.'

I thought that we knew that for a while?

Either way, call me when they actually get catgirls. I'll have salt fuel for centuries.

Are they gonna Let It Grow?

A potential real life Animal Farm?

Oh my gosh the Furries are exploding in happiness at this point.

Oh wow that's interesting.

furries are real

They're hoping this will fill the gap of the lack of organ donors. Around 20 people get put on a waiting list for getting organ donations a day.

wow, science sure is something

regardless, when I die i'm letting the docs harvest my organs if they can

better in them than in me

For anyone who didn't read the article, they aren't going to be making anthro pigs or anything. They're just trying to grow human organs inside animals.

Would be a very helpful thing indeed. Especially b/c the sad truth is that getting off a donor registry is not as cut-and-dry as "first come, first served." <.<

Can it be an actual dog heart? Being serious it can save an animal´s life, but the human organs work differently from the animal your giving the organ.

Finally my fetish will become a reality.

actually pig organs are very similar to human organs. my physics teacher's mom had to get a heart surgery using a pig's heart but then they found out how to fix it with a different solution, but that isnt related to the "pig heart lol gross xd."

my elementary school used pig lungs (don't ask me how they did this; i don't) that had been exposed to tabacco and told us that our lungs would like that.

i really don't know why did they did that. it was super gross and i makes me wonder how the pig got exposed to tabacco

Depends on how their organs work.

I don't think dozens of mini-humans are a good idea.
