The embryos survived for three days and are intended to provide a limitless supply of stem cells to develop therapies for diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and spinal cord injuries, overcoming a worldwide shortfall in human embryos.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

According to the article, the embryos were 99% human. What's the point then?

What? You want to see what a 50/50 would look like? We already have that, 800 pound fatasses.

I'm just wondering why they think a 99% human, 1% cow hybrid will silence the anti-embryonic stem cell people. To me, it sounds like all they've done is made it so a human fetus can be carried by a cow.

I wonder if anyone's going to get the reference here.

Um, I was too lazy to read the article... sooooooo... it sounds sick but if it can help cure sicknesses, go for it.
