Is this a good thing, or a baaaahd thing?

Scientists have created the world's first human-sheep chimera - which has the body of a sheep and half-human organs.

The sheep have 15 per cent human cells and 85 per cent animal cells - and their evolution brings the prospect of animal organs being transplanted into humans one step closer.

I wonder if this will make the sheep more attractive to the lonely sheepherders?

I love science. Especially science that veers into ethically murky waters.
