if it was japan, then once they pig sperm got back it would be used for some good ol' bukkake

I hope they learn something very valuable.

 

[DreadLord]

Idiots.

 

[mindless_moder]

idiots ? ...arent pigs a bit close to us geneticaly ?...the observations they make will help us analyse the effects of longterm exposure to a low grav environment on the reproductive system.

Idiots.

When you spend that much money on a space program you make damn sure it's worth it. The Chinese scientific community is far from inept.

At least they won't have trouble getting mixed up between metric and imperial units, hmm?

So why don't they use human sperm?

So why don't they use human sperm?

Agricultural experts hope to use the sperm to fertilise pig eggs back on earth and monitor the effects of the journey to space.

They care about other people .

because using human sperm would have ethical issues ....if the sperm does undergo some change then tracking those changes in offspring could prove to be quite difficult . if there are any mutations or deformations its a lot easier to cope with them if its an animal.

And the Chinese are known for being ethical...

I stick by my previous statement.

 

[Foxtrot]

Those pigs are going to come out pretty messed up.

"And the Chinese are known for being ethical..."
and racists are known for throwing around generalised statements.

:cheers: Or maybe the pig sperm will get super powers and then super-pigs will be born and destroy all humans.

He means the chinese government.

I think he means Chinese as in the People's Republic of China.. not people of Asian ethnicity.

edit: beaten

i know he didnt mean asians but what im trying to say is what china was at any point of time is not necessarily what they are today. u just cant say that all chinese people are devoid of morals.

Again, I doubt he was saying all Chinese people, either, he was probably saying the People's Republic (Communist government)
