 Human?Or Pig?

The power of science and medicine has come to another discovery. Scientists have presented the first successful human-animal hybrid. The project proves that the human cells can be introduced into a non-human organism to survive, and even grow inside a host animal, in this case, pigs. In the past, the United States have rejected to provide funds to projects like this one. The public opinion as well has been against the creation of organisms that are half human and half animal. The image above is a pig embryo that was injected with human cells. scientists are currently monitoring the developments of a four-week-old embryo. So far there is a lot of controversies if this project should continue or should be stopped. In the other hand, if this project is a success this could be a game changer for organ transplants in the coming future.
