Genetic Mingling Mixes Human, Animal Cells

On a farm about six miles outside this gambling town, Jason Chamberlain looks over a flock of about 50 smelly sheep, many of them possessing partially human livers, hearts, brains and other organs.

The University of Nevada-Reno researcher talks matter-of-factly about his plans to euthanize one of the pregnant sheep in a nearby lab. He can't wait to examine the effects of the human cells he had injected into the fetus' brain about two months ago.
I briefly saw a news report about this facility and part of an interview with one of the scientists.

What creatures will scientists come up with in years to come?
