Louisiana Rep. Preps State Bill Banning Human-Animal Hybrids

Posted by timothy on from the gas-electric-hybrids-only dept.

mikeljnola writes with an excerpt from NOLA.com that says state senator Danny Martiny (R-Kenner) will introduce a bill to the Louisiana legislature on April 27 to "'make it illegal to "create or attempt to create a human-animal hybrid, ... transfer or attempt to transfer a human embryo into a non-human womb ... (or) transfer or attempt to transfer a non-human embryo into a human womb."' With budget cuts all around, our struggling state is concerned with the eminent danger of human-animal hybrids. The upside is that the odds of the Louisiana becoming the Bayous of Dr. Boudreaux are now even slimmer."

    What a retarded idea. Someone should let him know it doesn't work like that, and that we already have animals into which we have inserted human genes, and likely will be eating them soon. I guess he watched too much anime or something.

    Pregnancy itself has a host of potential complications that range from mildly irritating to quite deadly

    Nature is so dumb! Look, it can hardly do birthing correctly. I think we need to go fix everything so nature doesn't keep screwing everything up. Natural selection be damned!
    --END SARCASM--

    Seriously? do we really want to go down this route? We've already screwed with the planet and life enough. Do we really need to screw with it more and more by allowing human/animal hybrids?

    That isn't heartless. It's just plain logical.
    Kudos for the rational response. :)
    And it's not a child, it's an embryo. (That's a line from House MD, but it's still valid)

    Just as ignorant as your earlier comment.

    Perhaps Slashdot needs an option to post as "Anonymous Idiot".
