comment on the comments geneticly spliced animals and humand are now real, but for many years have occupied a specific place in sci fi, where there are enhanced animals and humans, hybrids, and we have a huge subculture of "furryies" so the headline is pushing lots of buttons. The thing is that it's going to happen, and the pieces are here right now to make hybrids, and even alter a life forms DNA after birth. The point bieng if anybody is getting triggered by the whole kids and smart phones thing, best just think of that as quaint , as there is a massive market for some little adorable critter that can talk.....brace yourselves and nothing can make that possibility go away now
