Jesus WTF are we doing to ourselves now.
Why do we have to fuck around with nature all the time.
Or do you think it's all worth it?

Do you think it should be banned?

Poll reads :
"Hybrid embryo" Yes /No

but your question is :
"should it be baned"   Yes/No

If people vote (as they often do) without reading the post it will be oposite... so the reaults will be meaningless

Dont know if you can edit the question text?

Why ban it. They're working with embryos and sub-embryonic cells. They aren't going to grow people with gills and wings. (Not that I don't think having wings would be badass as hell)

Null vote. I have no idea what the poll wants.

It won't be a hybrid embryo. The embryo is being kept in an animal cell casing to encourage the embyonic cells to revert to stem cells. There will be no contact or 'fusion' between the two.

Let me quote my favourite strategy game, Alpha Centauri:

"Why do you insist that the human genetic code is "sacred" or "taboo"? It is a chemical process and nothing more. For that matter -we- are chemical processes and nothing more. If you deny yourself a useful tool simply because it reminds you uncomfortably of your mortality, you have uselessly and pointlessly crippled yourself."

Not that I agree with the suggestion that humans are tools, but I think the opposition to genetic technology are as the quote goes, reminded of their mortality. It may be uncomfortable to think of, but people, think of the future.
