We have created human-animal embryos already, say British team

Right now, I just think this is unethical. Here is the story (link below), and one of the Times readers in favor of this type of research writes. :

"I find it funny that people call this kind of research "Monsterous" etc. etc. It just proves that you are narrow minded and have little to no understanding of biochemistry and your views are narrow minded. Did you read the article? It clearly states that all that is used from the animal cell is the cytoplasm. There is next to zero genetic material in a cytoplasm. As it states, clearly again, 99.9% of this hybrid (maybe it is that word you "don't like") is hum,an genetic material.

if I were to look at the chemical composition on an animal cell and then get the raw chemicals, shimmy them up from start and then put a human nucleoid into this man-made cytoplasm, would you be barking? Sure, it is the exact same thing, but it just came about by a different process.

The fact of the matter is people clearly don't understand the scientific background and start whining about frankinstein. Sorry, no. It is really ignorant to simply write this research off. Suggestion: Read a book!"---Michael, London,
