WTF is a Human-Animal hybrid? Mr.bush said we can't have that?????
What was he talking about? It was the part where he talked about cloning embryos to implant was bad, so are animal human hyrids? What have I missed?

5. I found a couple links.
http://whitey.gnn.tv/headlines/933/Animal_Human_Hybrids
"For example, an experiment that would raise concerns, he said, is genetically engineering mice to produce human sperm and eggs, then doing in vitro fertilization to produce a child whose parents are a pair of mice.

“Most people would find that problematic,” Magnus said, “but those uses are bizarre and not, to the best of my knowledge, anything that anybody is remotely contemplating. Most uses of chimeras are actually much more relevant to practical concerns.”"

http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_half_human.htm
this one is about an art exhibit.

30. He wants to stop research that could make life better for diabetics
and those who could use an organ transplant but may have to wait too long to get one.

Putting a human gene into a developing pig embryo could create a liver for transplant that would not be rejected by a human as a foreign species.

6. Bush is proof that half-human/half-chimp hybrids are a REALLY bad idea...

12. Putting human DNA into an animal, or vice versa.
Impossible to stop. Even if outlawed in the US, some other country will try it.

13. That can't be outlawed here


Just outlaw the federal funding. There is no way they can stop people from putting DNA into something or mixing different DNAs in things.

15. Human-animal hybrid? This is what should concern us?
Bush again sounds the alarm of the future crisis in Social Security, BUT near as I could tell not one word about Global Warming! His fix for our addiction to fossil fuels: technology not conservation. It is easy to see where his priorities are.


The human-animal hybrids are coming! The human-animal hybrids are coming! Warning Will Robinson!

19. Many of the stem-cell lines he approved for research are of limited use
because they have mouse DNA. Laura claims he has supported SCR but there have been complaints that the existing lines he approved were from early research and can't be used in further experiments with humans. This is just another example of an idiot trying to dictate science to fit his limited understanding of the world.

22. Encore
I was under the impression he had recently watched the sci-fi flick "The Island of Doctor Moreau" with Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer on Encore. Now those were some pretty scary looking human-animal hybrids.

26. But, but, but.....
We've been producing human-animal hybrids for a long time! They have even managed to breed to produce other hybrids. I mean, stopping them from breeding would be great, but how can you stop the rabid repubs in this country from breeding? They don't believe in abortion, remember?

27. In addition to banning hybrids, Bush said he wants no human cloning
of any kind.

I saw a NOVA show (PBS) recently in which a U.S. scientist showed he thinks he has found a way to start the human cloning procedure, but by manipulating the genetic code, or whatever, he tricks the embryo into never developing into a fetus. But you can still get the embryonic stem cells from the quasi-clone, to use for possible disease cures, etc.

But, since it will NEVER develop into a fetus, there's no "creating a clone and destroying a "baby" to get stem cells" problem. A Catholic ethicist was interviewed, and said he found it an interesting and acceptable way around the problem.

But Bush says no cloning of any kind? Just as a breakthrough is coming that could solve a lot of problems.

He's the half-man/half-chimp hybrid, for sure!

31. genetic engineering / stem-cell research
that's what it's about.

You know, like engineered sheep that produce some human hormone used in medical cures, and that is hard to produce otherwise.
