Scientists at Linden Labs in San Francisco, California have successfully created a human-bear-pig chimera. Somatic cells from human and bear tissue were first transfected with a bacterial chromosome containing the Nanog gene and a GFP-IRES-puromycin resistance gene cassette. After a puromyocin screen was performed, the remaining cells were treated with a retroviral induction of Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-myc, thus creating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS). Induced pluripotent stem cells were used because of the ethical concern surrounding embryonic stem cells. The cells were then injected into pig blastocysts and introduced into the uteri of pseudo-pregnant pigs. The discovery was published today in the advance online edition of Nature Gold.“This is quite an accomplishment for which I have great confidence will lead to continued advances in human-animal chimera production,” says Dr. Eli Vance, chief science officer of Linden Labs. “We soon hope to commercialize this technology and realize our continued vision by which any human may realize a physical chimera lifestyle.”

Disgusting,
I have seen this picture many times and find it very hard to believe its real

Half-bear-half-man-half-pig = Mr. Cork!

This was published in 2008 i think?

@poster

first, thepadrino.com is a known Prank website

Second, the Dr. Eli Vance quoted in that article is a fictional character in the half-life game series.

I seriously hope you meant this post as a joke,  and if you do, its really disturbing!

Darn, here I was thinking it was this:

Linden Labs? They aren't genetics researchers, they created the game Second Life (Virtual Reality). I doubt very much this story is real.

lol reminds me of a very funny episode of South Park! i bet Al Gore would be really glad

fake

That Picture is a piece of art work. I have seen it many times before and its just a prank.   some people are already panicking thinking it is a reincarnation of their fore fathers.
I have just discovered a fossil in a cave in my backyard of a creature called indomienoodlestaurus which roamed the plains of Nigeria two hundred miilion years ago. Here is the picture of the discovered fossil bones on my dinning table

na lie jo!!!!!!!!!!!!!. ;d

Ive seen that pic b4,but i find it too disturbing.

this labe orun show on MITV tried to pass this off as real sometimes last year. The guy added salt and pepper by saying a powerful hunter found the said creature and its children in a deep forest in benin republic.  
I think availability of internet should be made a fundamental human right in the UN charter.

Very old and over circulated story.

It's only a sculptural piece at an exhibition.
Will get more details about the sculptor and exhibition place.

I hope this aint real, because na the end of the pure human race be dis ooo. Make e no start the kind war when adolf hitler fight again ooo.
