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."

    While they are at it, why not ban cloaking devices and disruptors.

      Catgirls: because putting up with the cattiness of real girls just isn't enough, we added allergies to the mix.

      Worst. Idea. Ever.

      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?

      Yes, scientists and other well educated people are inhumane, coldly logical killing machines. Mark well your fear. We are coming for you.

    What prevents a gene-splicer from creating, transporting, or receiving a human-animal hybrid in neighboring Michigan?

    Nothing... but figuring out which are hybrids and which are "normal Michigan residents" could be a problem... ;)

    ...prohibits...the transfer of a nonhuman embryo into a human womb...
