A LEADING scientist has warned a new species of "humanzee," created from breeding apes with humans, could become a reality unless the government acts to stop scientists experimenting.

In an interview with The Scotsman, Dr Calum MacKellar, director of research at the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, warned the controversial draft Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill did not prevent human sperm being inseminated into animals.

He said if a female chimpanzee was inseminated with human sperm the two species would be closely enough related that a hybrid could be born.

He said scientists could possibly try to develop the new species to fill the demand for organ donors.

Exclusive: Half man, half chimp - should we beware the apeman's coming?

I'm not one for a hybrid Ape-Man creature.
If they're stronger then us and they figure out how to use guns, were screwed.

Then...

Oh no! Earth is about to become the Planet of the Apes!

1. Does that mean that animals on cartoons can be for real?
2. If that is allowed, would Sonic the hedgehog came from a human-hedgehog hybrid, and born as the world's fastest animal on the planet?
3. Would even Foxy become the sexiest human-fox hybrid female?
4. Oh my god, so many wild possibilities...:eek:

Yes, it could be a human sub class farmed for body parts. Pretty grisly thought.

I just do not even know what to say..... This is amazing. We love to show our stupidity, Humans are idiots. Anything to get us cloer to the brink.

Try mating with an angry primate, and you'll be on the edge of the brink.

You mean Brawn, right?
As Hybrids, they may have the mental capacity to be just as smart as us.

Oh noez, we'll produce a species of new animal that we can easily control, even if they are smarter then us, which they won't be, because they won't have the full human brain, or stronger, which is questionable, because although chimps are more agile, they aren't stronger per se. Oh and we have the guns, not them, so if they ever do get them out of control we can put a quick stop to it.

Oh no, we can't beat them in hand to hand combat! If only their was some sort of way that we could shoot them from long range! Whatever will we do?

I'm not saying that we couldn't, just that chimps are very strong compared to humans.

Personally I don't think we will get as far as a single hybrid - scientists are not that unscrupulous.

Chimps can't float well, we can just swim out into a lake and were fine.

Good luck with marine hybrids. I wonder how people will feel about animals if this comes out anytime soon.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
