A piggish bloke?

From Cloning teams cross pig and human DNA at The Sunday Times’ site:

SCIENTISTS have successfully produced an embryonic pig-human hybrid. Human DNA was inserted into pig cells which became tiny embryos, write Jonathan Leake and Nick Fielding.

.
Nobody knows whether the hybrid embryos could have become living beings. They would be much more human than pig because about 97% of DNA is in the nucleus, which was human. There would, however, be some effect from the 3% of DNA from the pig.

I don’t have enough of an understanding of the things involved to really say anything about this. But we do have some folks with a knowledge of biology here. What sort of creature might come of this, or could one?

You’re familiar with Boss Hog aren’t you.

And back in the real world. I haven’t a clue.

No, but I remember Wonder Warthog.
