  It’s been a while since I read something that made me feel as uncomfortable as that article did. Gross.

    It was bad at first, then it got worse.

    To avoid legal issues with working with pure human embryonic stem cell lines.

      I mean… Is it still a life if it gets destroyed when the cells divide?

        It is life, but it’s not a multicellular life. Aka, it’s no more advanced than a single bacteria

        It gets destroyed by the people who created it because by then, it has shown that the sperm was viable, which was the point.

      This is a horrible ethical argument. It has about as much logic as anal sex being legitimate before marriage because of the loophole of it not being traditional penetration. Just have sex. Just use viable human cells. Who cares.

      In the related articles, there’s a link to the Hamster zona-free ovum test where this snippet lies:

      Although medical professionals often present the procedure as unable to create an embryo,[5] these claims are not technically correct. If the human sperm succeeds in penetrating the hamster egg, a hybrid embryo is indeed created, known as a humster.[6] These embryos are typically destroyed before they divide into two cells; were they left alone to divide, they would still be unviable.[7]

  I don’t know why people are freaking out over this article. It’s pretty well known that lots of animals (especially within their own class) have eggs that can be fertilized by different species. It doesn’t matter like 99.99% of the time because the resulting cell is unviable and will not develop into anything because the merged DNA is incompatible and will fail to generate into a developed organism.

  The exception to this are hybrids (like a mule), rare cases where similar enough species can actually create a viable fetus, but the resultant hybrid is usually sterile and unable to reproduce its own offspring: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_(biology)

  That article needs a pronunciation guide. Humm? Hyoom?

    I’d pronounce it in English about the same as I pronounce hamster in Estonian.
