UK Moves To Allow Human Hybrid Experiments
penguin_dance writes "The UK is apparently rethinking its ban on human hybrid experiments. If approved by regulators, '[t]he move opens the door to experiments involving every known kind of human-animal hybrid. These could include both "cytoplasmic" embryos, which are 99.9% human, and "true hybrids" carrying both human and animal genes.' Previous calls for an outright ban on all human-animal embryos outraged scientists, according to the article, who believe that 'work on human-animal hybrid embryos will greatly speed up progress in stem cell research.' The report claims there will be a provision for regulation of the research to incorporate any 'unforeseen developments.' Let the Island of Dr. Moreau comparisons begin!"
I have no problem with hybrid embryos for testing purpose as I don't mind abortion within the first trimester. But allowing a human hybrid to come to term (If possible) I am against. Stem cell research should be legal and funded by the government because it has the potential to cure MANY diseases.
Hes such a hypocrite. If it wasn't for human-animal hybrids he wouldn't exist at all.
All misspellings and grammatical errors in the above post are intentional and part of my artistic expression.
It means we need to come to terms with the fact that humans are animals as any, and experimentation is required.
/., but I (and billions of other people) believe humanity was created by God, and we are inherently superior to animals. That of course does not mean animals are worthless; they are God's creations as well. But they are not people.
No, no we don't. I'm sure I'll be modded troll or something, since this is atheist
