Original Note:
The headline is incorrect. The animal is not a human-pig hybrid, which would be biologically impossible. It is a pig with human cells attached that will develop into organs that can be used for transplantation (known in biology as a chimeric organism). https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/science-and-technology/human-pig-hybrid-created-in-the-lab
