Title: Japan to mix animal/human DNA.

No, they won't be creating real "furries". The hope is to create new organs for human transplant.

Yeah but you know there's more than a few people working on this project who joke about making catgirls.

Still though I've been intruiged by transgenic science for yeas so seeing further development in that makes me happy.

I met a nice cart girl or two at Denfur,  so please Japan,  get working on cat girls. And then dog girls.

I take that back.  Get priorities straight.  Dog girls first.

But a little more serious now..
If this animal is raised to grow a human kidney,  can u eat the other bits of the animal later? Meaning would it be like eating a human in some way?? Kind of bothers me right now.

This won't end well I've seen the movies when creatures get sentience they're survival instincts will kick in and fight back its a cool concept

This was a sub-plot in the Tank Girl movie. Half-man/half-kangaroo. I think Boogah said he was a dog before upgrading to human.

Interesting stuff. Not sure about the ethics of it all.

I still like that movie!
A little dated,  but fun.

So, I've been thinking of it.  If they make human parts for transplant by using an animal source, if they can grow the organ in such a way that the animal is not restrained, but free range. Like a free range cow, with a bulge on its side under the skin, where a human kidney is growing,  i'd be ok with that.
They do a local anesthetic,  cut open pouch. Remove human kidney, suture up veins, let pouch dwindle down. Give cow a year to recover.
