penguin_dance writes "The UK is apparently having rethink on human hybrid experiments.

If approved by regulators, "the move opens the door to experiments involving every known kind of human-animal hybrid. These could include both 'cytoplasmic' embryos, which are 99.9% human, and 'true hybrids' carrying both human and animal genes." Previous calls for an outright ban on all human-animal embryos outraged scientists, according to the article. Scientist believe, "work on human-animal hybrid embryos will greatly speed up progress in stem cell research." It claims there will be a provision for regulation of the research to incorporate any "unforeseen developments."

Let the Island of Dr. Moreau comparisons begin!"
