It’s been a while since I read something that made me feel as uncomfortable as that article did. Gross.

Are we sure?
I mean, human sperm can fertilize hamster eggs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was bad at first, then it got worse.
To avoid legal issues with working with pure human embryonic stem cell lines.

This is a horrible ethical argument. It has about as much logic as anal sex being legitimate before marriage because of the loophole of it not being traditional penetration. Just have sex. Just use viable human cells. Who cares.

In the related articles, there’s a link to the Hamster zona-free ovum test where this snippet lies:
Although medical professionals often present the procedure as unable to create an embryo,[5] these claims are not technically correct. If the human sperm succeeds in penetrating the hamster egg, a hybrid embryo is indeed created, known as a humster.[6] These embryos are typically destroyed before they divide into two cells; were they left alone to divide, they would still be unviable.[7]

I mean… Is it still a life if it gets destroyed when the cells divide?

It gets destroyed by the people who created it because by then, it has shown that the sperm was viable, which was the point.

It is life, but it’s not a multicellular life. Aka, it’s no more advanced than a single bacteria

Is that how rechargeable AAs are made? Humsters? 😳

Absolutely cursed.
Also, is the reverse possible?
