The Human Fertilization and Embryo Authority in England has allowed the creation of part human and part animal hybrid embryos for research purposes. Once the legislation is finalized, British scientists will be able to keep hybrid embryos alive for 14 days, but not implant them into a womb. These mashup embryos must be destroyed within 14 days by current British law. The will cells form the fundamental building blocks of the body and have the propensity to evolve into any tissue, making them indispensable for research and development. It is already illegal to implant human-animal embryos in a female womb or to allow them to enter post fertilization stages.
The United Kingdom’s House of Lords has since sponsored state plans which will allow investigations using human-animal hybrid embryos. The vote came as a reprieve for scientists who had campaigned in favor of permitting such research. However, the end consequence was too met with disenchantment from certain memberships who see the creation of such embryos as unethical. These creations are formed from primarily human tissue for, but also contain a minimal amount of animal DNA. Today England has rejected a bill that would put a ban on creating human-animal hybrids clearing the way to be the world’s first nation to license such creations to private business for use in medical research. They are wasting no time, just one day after the announcement trials are scheduled to begin. The decision is setback for those who don’t view humanity as a genetic playground for corporate profits.
In addition, they already have a movement to create living human embryos from the genetic material of two females as well as a drive to force the harvesting of organs and human material from deceased Britons without their consent.
WTF! that’s horrible

Recent advancement in stemcell research in the United States is proving that Human Fertilization and Embryo use is unnecessary. Science has determined that life begins at inception. Courts have repeatedly confirmed this in accepting charges of multiple murder when a mother with child is killed. To authorize creation of human and animal fertilization under the guise of research is tantamount to legalizing murder. No man has ever created life and no man should be allowed to mess with life and even murder in the name of research.
