PigMan or Man-Child

In a remarkable—if likely controversial—feat, scientists announced today that they have created the first successful human-animal hybrids. The media hails the project as proving the impossible that human cells can be introduced into a non-human organism, survive, and even grow inside a host animal, in this case, pigs.

PigMan? Aren’t we already living this nightmare? TPV can name a few PigMen, and one PigMan of the decade.

“No, this is a new biomedical advance, which has long been a dream and a quandary for scientists hoping to address a critical shortage of donor organs,” the Scientist in charge corrected our misunderstanding.

So, this is not about creating more PigMen or maybe Sow…

“No, see it on Fox. This is one of the great advances. People are applauding and screaming. … and they are giving a standing ovation. In fact, Fox said it was the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning had won the Super Bowl, and they said it was equal. This advance got a standing ovation. It lasted for a long period of time.”

Oh, indeed, this is not about PigMan, this is about a Man Child. Or, more accurately, a bratty creature whose evolution froze too many decades ago.
