This is so absurd it twisted my brain. Ten years ago, I could have dismissed your statement as completely infeasible. Now? Would I be surprised if, through the agonizing sacrifice of hundreds of failed attempts in some deregulated research facility, scientists successfully used CRISPR gene editing and human brain organoids to create some abomination that technically could be called classified as a talking animal. I mean probably not but, yea, that’d be wild wouldn’t it.
