OH Senate Passes Bill Banning Human-Animal Hybrids

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-centaurs-allowed dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The sci-fi movie Splice seems to have scared the Ohio's State Senator Steve Buehrer. The Ohio Senate has passed Sen. Buehrer's bill banning 'the creation, transportation, or receipt of a human-animal hybrid, the transfer of a nonhuman embryo into a human womb, and the transfer of a human embryo into a nonhuman womb.' So much for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

    I guess the bill does have a silver lining.

    Really? And just what are your qualifications into philosophy? human rights? ethics? Jurispudence? History? Theology? Geology? Physics? Statistics? Sociology? Psychology? Got like half a dozen Ph. D's there?

    Do you support death penalty? Animal Testing? Human Testing? Cloning? Using the sun for disposal of wastes? LHC? Abortion? Privacy vs Security? Euthanasia? Removal of Religion from the mandatory and public funded schools? Religious influence from Law? Social Services? Offshore drilling? Destroying Nature Reserves?

    Should we have all laws passed by multiple Ph.D holders in selected fields who have little to no sense of humanity, only cold logic and rationale?

    I don't care enough about any of that to educate myself.
