The last few weeks has seen some interesting news....

Then we look at the Science Headlines...

Animal-Human Hybrids Research Approved in U.K.
May 20, 2008 ... Amid stormy debate, British lawmakers have voted to allow the use of human-animal hybrid embryos for stem cell research.
news.nationalgeographic.com...

British scientists say the country's progressive environment has led to many firsts, such as the first test-tube baby and the world's first cloned animal.

Creating hybrid embryos involves injecting an empty cow or rabbit egg with human DNA.

A burst of electricity is then used to "trick" the egg into dividing regularly, so that it becomes a very early embryo from which stem cells can be extracted.


A google search for Animal Human Hybrids brings up 'about 387,000 for animal human hybrid'

Well France and Germany will still be human....

Bush is against it...

BUSH: A hopeful society has institutions of science and medicine that do not cut ethical corners and that recognize the matchless value of every life.

Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms; creating or implanting embryos for experiments; creating human-animal hybrids; and buying, selling or patenting human embryos.

Human life is a gift from our creator, and that gift should never be discarded, devalued or put up for sale.

Internet emails have been full pictures like the 'human dog' above... and the weird sea creatures

Blob Fish...






Fish that washed up after the tsunami that hit southeast Asia in December 2004

These pictures were used in an email scam to get money...


So what's going on? Is it simply an influx of hoaxers? Or is it a plan to desensitize people to weird hybrids? Or are we slipping through time lines and picking up strange beasties?

Remember the coelacanth? A prehistoric fish thought extinct...





Genetic sequencing of prehistoric fish could reveal how animals evolved to live on land

Now the really scary part...

I mentioned Plum Island at the beginning

At the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has an important job.

We work to protect farm animals, farmers and ranchers, the nation's farm economy and export markets... and your food supply.

Plum Island is located off the northeastern tip of New York's Long Island. USDA activities at Plum Island are carried out by scientists and veterinarians with the department's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS).


So far so good...



But then we see THIS

"We're proud of our role as America's first line of defense against foreign animal diseases."

Okay great news....

Now THIS...

"We're equally proud of our safety record. Not once in our nearly 50 years of operation has an animal pathogen escaped from the island."

NOTHING HAS ESCAPED?? What's there to escape

And WHY is Homeland Security setting up shop there?

USDA and DHS Working Together

"In 2003 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) joined us on the island, taking responsibility for the safety and security of the facility."

Well Lyme Connecticut is just North of Plum Island. I read somewhere (I think on Wiki) that they kill any deer or other animals that swim to the island.

Working in the animal research field myself, with some BSL-2 agents, I still find it hard for anything to escape. Not saying its impossible. Back 15-20 years ago bio-level security was a lot different.

But I did find this article that was interesting
DHS took over responsibility for Plum Island from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 2002. In a fact sheet issued last week, the department said the 50-year-old lab is "nearing the end of its lifecycle" and will be replaced by a new National Bio and Agro-defense Facility (NBAF) with a stronger focus on bioterrorism. DHS is launching a study to determine the facility's mission, its preferred location, and whether it needs a biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) lab, the highest level of biological containment. The study should be completed by 2006, and the facility could open in 2011.

Few contest that the dilapidated complex at Plum Island needs an extreme makeover. But adding a BSL-4 facility, or moving it, is controversial. Because most of the diseases studied there--such as foot-and-mouth disease and classical swine fever--don't infect humans, the lab operates at BSL-3 plus, which resembles BSL-4 except that researchers don't wear space suits. Scientists have long argued that the U.S. needs a BSL-4 facility for agricultural diseases to allow the study of agents, such as the Nipah and Hendra viruses, that sicken farm animals as well as humans.

So at least they are admitting that the facility is run downed and a upgrade is necessary.

Thanks for that... I will look into it.



There is also another weird incidence some years back... a good article on it in Wiki...


The Catch of the Zuiyo Maru

On April 25, 1977 the Japanese trawler MS Zuiyo Maru picked up the following badly decayed carcass



The foul-smelling, decomposing corpse weighed 1800 kg and was about 10 m long. According to the crew, the creature had a one and a half meter long neck, four large, reddish fins and a tail about two meters long. It lacked a dorsal fin. No internal organs remained, but flesh and fat was somewhat intact (Sjögren, 1980 and Welfare & Fairley, 1981).


Discovery

On April 25, 1977, the Japanese trawler Zuiyo Maru, sailing east of Christchurch, New Zealand, caught a strange, unknown creature in the trawl. The crew was convinced it was an unidentified animal (Bord, 1990), but despite the potential biological significance of the curious discovery, the captain, Akira Tanaka, decided to dump the carcass into the ocean again so not to risk spoiling the caught fish. However, before that, some photos and sketches were taken of the creature, nick-named "Nessie" by the crew, measurements were taken and some samples of skeleton, skin and fins were collected for further analysis by experts in Japan. The discovery resulted in immense commotion and "plesiosaur-craze" in Japan, and the shipping company ordered all its boats to try to relocate the dumped corpse again, but with no apparent success. (Sjögren, 1980).
