Human-Animal Hybrids Fail

SailorSpork writes "Fans of furries and anime-style cat girls will be disappointed by the news that attempts to create human animal hybrids have failed. Experiments by British scientists to create embryonic stem cells by putting human DNA into cow or rabbit eggs had raised ethical concerns, but the question of how we would treat sub-humans will have to wait until we actually figure out how to make them."

Yeah, that's how it works. The governments of the world got together to decide if burning fossil fuels would be ethical treatment of our environment. Yes, there was a UN decision last week about whether or not we should allow basic slave laborers to do ship-breaking on beaches where caustic and dangerous materials can leech into the oceans.

Damned good thing we make ethical decisions before acting on anything...

your first paragraph has little to do with your 2nd paragraph; you fail at the "logic" you claim to support.

Congress *isn't* making a law that establishes a religion. However, if you think that the original writers had any idea in their head that a person could stop being the person they are and do things as a non-them, or that religious people should have no say in government, then you're a straight-up idiot.

You might want to reconsider getting a real education, or discontinuing trying to figure this sort of thing out, if you really think that the Framers intended for people who are religious to not be involved in government.

Maybe we should resolve the ethical concerns before we perform the science ...

And maybe we should all go back to living in caves and chipping tools out of flint.

Meanwhile, in the real world, people are going to keep on discovering new knowledge and creating new technology whether the Luddite hypocrites like it or not. And they'll decry this process right up until it produces results that are useful to them, at which point they will eagerly embrace it, while whining about how eeevil and scary and dangerous the Next Big Thing is.
