For those who enjoy South Park, you might remember the Al Gore episode where he tries to warn the world of Man-Bear-Pig. Well, scientists in Britain have created Human-Cow embryos that lasted 3 days in the lab. ( http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/080402/health/britain_science_medicine_religion_politics) I thought Japan was crazy trying to make Cow+Whale hybrids, but this tops it. Man-Bear-Pig is not so far away. What would we do with a cow-man? Integrate it into society? Eat it? Ask it to report on farm conditions from a cow's point of view? Heck, would it even look like a cow or a person? If it looked like a man, but had cow horns and cloven feet, that would sure add fire to the religious protests
