Question: can you breed humans with animals and will a combo of them be born ?

We do see this happening sometime with animals – have you ever heard of a Zorse or a Liger? In theory, yes we might be able to cross breed some animals with humans, but whether the baby would survive through pregnancy and birth I am not sure! We know for sure that humans couldn’t cross-breed with all other animals because our DNA is not compatible with every other animals’ DNA meaning that an egg and sperm cell wouldn’t be able to combine and start a pregnancy.

There’s also the question of should we… would it be a good thing for the world, and for the individual, if we tried to make a human-animal mixture creature? Scientists have to work out if experiments are what we call ethical (meaning good for the world and the individuals/animals involved) and that is a whole other debate!
