Pig Me (LIVE from PAX South 2017!)

Scientists have created the first successful human-animal hybrids. The project proves that human cells can be introduced into a non-human organism, survive, and even grow inside a host animal, in this case, pigs. Anthony, Jeff, and special guests Mikey Neuman and Kris Straub from Chainsawsuit discuss the pros and cons of creating human animal hybrids in the lab.

This episode was recorded LIVE at PAX South 2017 in San Antionio. Thanks to everyone who came out to the live performance!
