Cow-human cross embryo lives three days | NEWS.com.au: "HUMAN-cow embryos have been created in a world first at Newcastle University in England, hailed by the scientific community, but labelled 'monstrous' by opponents.

Jeff Segal, in sending this along to FicttionMags2, was reminded of Piers Anthony's story in AGAIN, DANGEROUS VISIONS, "In the Barn."

crossing human dna into animal dna cannot diminish the human race in any way. animals are a lot nicer. it can only make us better. even if we were crossed with a fungus. we would be better.
