The truth is, in fact, even more disturbing (http://www.nature.com/news/artificial-jellyfish-built-from-rat-cells-1.11046) than the title:
Quote"Morphologically, we've built a jellyfish. Functionally, we've built a jellyfish. Genetically, this thing is a rat," says Kit Parker, a biophysicist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who led the work. The project is described today in Nature Biotechnology.
Bonus disturbing quote:
Quote"I grabbed him and said, 'John, I think I can build a jellyfish.' He didn't know who I was, but I was pretty excited and waving my arms, and I think he was afraid to say no."
This century is the best and worst thing that has ever happened.
:aaa:
I am...
science...
WHY???
:eek:
HEY LOOK GUYS, I MADE A JELLYFISH OUT OF A RAT'S HEART.
I am so happy.
It makes me a little sad that it's not as alive as the title implied. Still, mad science is alive and well!
They called me MAD at University!
MAD!
MAAAAAAAAD!
Why am I reminded of that 80's remake of The Fly?
It's not the same thing it's not the same thing it's not the same thing... :horrormirth:
