DO YOU THINK SOME CURIOUS SCIENTISTS HAVE EXPERIMNENTED WITH THIS IN SECRET?
Voted : Yes
In the event, the offspring are still born because, there are deeper complications than just egg and sperm compatibility. The genetic material between species is incompatible. That is to say that the genes in one species cannot effectively bond to the genes of a different species. For instance, the genes in a pig cannot bond with the genes in a dog. Same is true for say humans and apes. Even a lion and a house cat cannot breed or can the genes splice if you will.
I'm not sure but I think that even the genes between a black bear and a grizzly bear do not splice to produce live offspring, but I'm confident science is studying this.
russian scientists have tried this in order to breed a fighting stock, but it never came to fruition because of one reason or another.
you can read about it on the web.
^passiveson, what I was saying is that scientists have found out what causes the incompatibility--it is some kind of enzyme or protein--and they now know how to infiltrate the barriers. Genetically disparate bonding CAN now take place. I was interested to find out if anyone here thinks they have tried to mate animals of different species, using their new technology. They CAN do it--the question WAS--does anyone think they HAVE done it. If scientists were successful in mating a cat with a dog, that would be the biggest secret in the world, as scientists who did that would literally be excommunicated.
^LCD, I am going to look up what you talked about. I am still rofl (in my imagination) about what Bush said about the horrors of hybrid humans.
What you discribed was breaking the barrier between sperm of one species penetrating the egg of a different species which I addressed. I further go on to explain that even when the sperm and egg of different species do coalesce, the ge3nes between the two species cannot produce live offspring. This is the next hurdle to overcome. The genes do splice but the product doesn't live. At a certain point the cells die in the embryo stage. Science has produced some very monstrous creations, but every one dies before gestation is complete.
