UK Bill Allowing Human-Animal Embryonic Cross Breeding Will Become Law A new age of what critics denounce as 'Frankenstein science' is underway as the Human Fertility Embryology (HFE) Bill passed its final reading in the House of Commons last month. An overwhelming majority of 355 votes to 129 backed the bill that will make Britain one of a small number of counties to legalise the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos for medical research. While the Catholic Church and MPs opposing the bill decry the move as 'unethical,' and medically insignificant, supporters argue that hybrid embryos may lead to cures for various diseases including cystic fibrosis, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. |
