What in the Name of Humanity...

...Edward Leigh, Conservative MP for Gainsborough, moving the amendment to ban all admixed embryos, said that mingling animal and human DNA crossed an “ultimate boundary”. He said that exaggerated claims were giving patients false hope and that the dangers of the research were unknown. “In many ways we are like children playing with landmines without any concept of the dangers of the technology we are handling,” he said.

Here's a few responses to the British Parliament's giving an okay to one of the most outrageous immoralities of our time, the creation of "humanimal" embryos, living hybrids of human and animal cells that will be used for research purposes: The Times (U.K.)...the Independent (U.K.)...and the Telegraph (U.K.).
