I'm still trying to let this sink in. I can't get my mind around it. It seems to be real, though.

The following is the statement by the Human Fertilisation and Embryo Authority, the body which oversees human embryo research in Britain. The group will allow the creation of part-human, part-animal hybrid embryos for research purposes. British regulations already require that human embryos for research purposes are destroyed within 14 days of their creation.

STATEMENT: "The decision on how the HFEA should approach the licensing of human - animal hybrids and chimera research has presented a particular challenge as this research is so novel in legal, scientific and ethical terms...."

Of course, this is coming from the country where about 50 babies survive abortion and are murdered outside the womb each year ... so why am I surprised?
