'Human-cow' created
From The Sunday Times' Jonathan Leake
September 15, 2003
A CONTROVERSIAL cloning scientist is to announce he
has created "human-cow"
embryos that lived for about a fortnight and theoretically
could have been
implanted into a woman's womb.
Panayiotis Zavos, who runs a fertility laboratory in
the US, made the hybrid
embryos by inserting human DNA into the eggs of a cow.
Professor Zavos said the human-cow embryos were "theoretically
viable" but
emphasised that he had no plans to allow such a hybrid
to be born.
"We are not trying to create monsters," he
said, claiming his aim was to
perfect his cloning techniques without the ethical problems
involved in the
use of human egg cells.
Professor Zavos said the embryos grew to several hundred
cells and appeared
to have normal DNA. He will announce the breakthrough
at a meeting in London
today.
He added that the hybrids had grown beyond the stage,
known as
differentiation, at which cells showed the first signs
of developing into
tissues and organs.
This is a crucial test because it implies that the human
chromosomes, which
contain the DNA, have been left intact. Other people
who claim to have
created human clones have failed to produce evidence.
Professor Zavos's work
is taken seriously by some of the scientific community.

I don't get it. You mean, no one actually gets to go
out into the pasture
and poke the cow? Then what's the point?

Well the miracle is, this is a cow that could get drunk
on Friday and
TIP ITSELF.

In other words, all they managed to do was clone Anna Nicole Smith?

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "Cow-orker"
