Dr. Helen Watt/The Linacre Centre
The logic of production is freely carried out in the treatment of manufactured embryos, though tellingly the State wants some control over the kind of offspring parents may accept. The sinister concept of the ‘permitted’ embryo, and the permission for embryos to be ‘preferred’ for transfer as healthy, but not as sick or disabled, are obvious examples. Not everyone is welcome in the libertarian Brave New World.
The brutal disregarding of the respect and reverence due to human procreation is continued in allowing human material to be used to substitute for animal sperm or ova or their parts. Whatever the risk of creating actual human embryos -- which depends on the specific technique -- it devalues human procreation to interact this way with animal reproductive processes.
What can be done? We can fight for amendments that prohibit abuses, or mitigate their effects -- without, however, telling anyone how to plan, or carry out, such abuses. An example would be birth certificates, which can and should record donor conception, for the benefit of any child conceived. At the end of the line, we can oppose the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, braving any repercussions this involves, and supporting others with any repercussions they experience. And, of course, we can pray.

Submitted on April 4th, 2008 by AnonymousThe last two lines there prove that you don't know what you're talking about. First off, you forgot the question mark on the first two sentences.
Secondly, it's not mating with an animal at all, it's combining human dna with animal egg cells. This is fundamentally different from mating not only because there's no actual sex involved, but also because it's not sperm that's fertilizing it and because it's not impregnating anything; it's illegal to implant the embryo into an animal or human to allow it to grow into a creature, or to even let it grow past 14 days.
IE, it's growing into a small clump of cells that is 99.9% human, not an actual creature. The whole point of the process isn't to make some form of human-animal hybrid, it's because human egg cells are harder to obtain for stem cell research because the process of obtaining them is slightly risky for the women involved.
Besides allowing stem cell research without risking human lives (well, depends on if you see an embryo as a living human or not, but even then it endangers fewer), it would benefit society in myriad other ways. If you actually read the article (*gasp* actually READING? Unthinkable!) then you would know this.

That's what these experiments are trying to do.
They're not creating human minds in mice. As far as we can tell, a human mind emerges from complex structures, not from merely adding or removing neurons.
Cow bad, but a Shark would be OK.
Submitted on April 2nd, 2008 by The Big KlosowskiWhat we need as a society is a super-intelligent Great White shark. Oh, wait, no we don't.
What in God's name would this used for? How does it benefit society? The whole mice thing is very Flowers for Algernon.
Also, isn't Zoophilia (bestiality) illegal. What makes this any different in overall theory. It's just scientifically mating with an animal.
