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."

      an embryo becomes a human when it stops just asking questions but starts meaningfully answering them. ...
      for a Jewish mother though, an embryo becomes a human when it gets gets degree in law or medicine ;)

    That would reduce the risk for the mother; I doubt it would reduce it for the child.

    I couldn't disagree more. Machines have an excellent track record for accuracy, compared to humans. During the experimental stage, it might be dangerous for mother and child, but when the technology matures, it will be safer for both, and lots of people will be doing it. There will, of course, always be people who prefer the old fashioned way.

    The one thing that would quickly decrease the risks of pregnancy to absolutely zero is an artificial womb!

    Hooray! Somebody finally found something in this universe that has absolutely zero risk! And it involves babies and surgery!
