Human Hybrids
So it seems like the new buzz on Hybrids won't be about gasoline electric cars, rather beings that are part human and part animal.
In a disturbing experiment, Chinese scientists have fused Human cells with Rabbit eggs. This just seems like a bad idea to me. When has making things that are part human part animal on TV or in Movies ever turned out to be a good idea?
Taking a page from cartoons, Scientists at Stanford plan on trying to grow mice with Human Brains. What happened on Tiny Toons when mice became super smart? Every single night, they tried to take over the world. Could you imagine the revenge and the revolution against humans and the rodent problem we would have when rat poison and mouse traps are useless and a trigger for a world war?
All joking aside, this kind of experimentation that crosses so many lines seems not only dangerous but highly unethical. They're talking about making mice produce human sperm and human eggs. Think of the implications of being the offspring of a mouse, not to even mention the your momma jokes and awkward parent teacher conferences.
Another reason they want to produce chimeras is to create animals that produce replacement human parts. These animals would be created in a lab and would just wait around to be harvested for their human organs. This kind of crazy mad science seems selfish, irresponsible, and dangerous.

Lets get our facts straight! Pinky and the Brain are from Animaniacs, not Tiny Toons!

The ornate ceremonial courtroom at U.S. District Court in Washingotn, D.C. will be the backdrop for Judge Thomas Hogan to hear arguments from the Department of Justice and the House of Representatives, as well as Jefferson's lawyer, on the search which Hogan condoned.
