Ohh it's sooo good on sooo many levels! And what the hell is up with this picture of Al Franken?!"Scientists to create 'frankenbunny' in big research leap"
Scientists are planning to create a "frankenrabbit" by fusing together human cells with a rabbit egg.
It is hoped the "chimeric" embryos, which would be 99.9 per cent human and 0.1 per cent rabbit, could lead to breakthroughs in stem cell research which could one day cure diseases such as Alzheimer's or spinal cord injury.
The embryos will allow scientists to perfect stem cell creation techniques without using human eggs.
"If we learn how to do this with animal eggs, we should be able to have more success with human eggs, and I'd much rather know that if we were going to ask women to donate eggs that we were very likely to get stem cells as a result," said Chris Shaw, at the Institute of Psychiatry.

Wait, so using to-be-discarded embryos is bad, but creating a hybrid human-bunny-banana is a-ok?
Gotcha. Thanks for the ethics check ;)
btw, Al Franken is el fuego
