I know there intentions are`good , but dam if this doesnt open a can of worms.

It seems the Island of doctor Moreau, Is becoming more and more real.

A sheep that's 15% human... doesn't that describe the entire planet's population?

But seriously, it seems that whenever a story comes out that "seems" like it could have a positive impact on society, I know that there must be some other agenda behind it. I'll find it out soon I'm sure.

The "15% human" line is nothing but sensationalist journalism, I promise you. You have to keep in mind that mammals share a LARGE portion of DNA, and less than 3% of our entire genome actually codes for protein, the other 97% being structural, thus not related to the identity of an organism. Even if you made a sheep "50% human" by DNA, it would still be just a sheep. The main implication of this work is that you could replace receptors on the organs, which vary by a tiny tiny tiny margin between sheep and humans, thus preventing human antigen recognition cells from rejecting sheep organs.
