Yup, theres my confession.
What happens though when the world around you seems to start living out these horrible movie ideas?
You start wondering if you entered an "outer limits" script or a twilight zone movie.
Some of the best, or worst, depending on whether you like these types of movies, involve mad scientists, that in their quest for research and into science they enter into an area that is just wrong, in the name of "medical research".
Enter the Hybrid Embryo.
Thats right folks, lets just screw with DNA and genetics and who knows where it will stop, maybe we will actually start letting these experiments fully play out and have hybrid humans walking around.
Where would it stop, in the name of science?
Scientists will be allowed to create hybrid animal-human embryos for stem cell research after the Government dropped its opposition to the procedure.
In what is seen by many as a U-turn, the Government published a draft bill that effectively sweeps away last year's ban, which was widely criticised by scientists, who warned that it would hinder medical breakthroughs.
Under the Human Tissue and Embryos Bill, scientists will be allowed to produce "cybrid" embryos that are 99.9 per cent human and 0.1 per cent animal and they will be permitted to alter human embryos by the introduction of animal DNA.
Under the legislation proposed today, hybrid embryos would only be allowed for research into serious diseases, and scientists working with them would require a licence.
Yes, lets give people a license for this and who knows, in a few years, maybe we can also give them a license to start breeding these hybrids to adulthood.
What is a hybrid?
A hybrid is formed when the sperm of one species is used to fertilise an egg from another species. A mule is the hybrid offspring of a horse and a donkey. Every cell in the resulting organism has chromosomes from each species.
The world is indeed losing its humanity, its ability to be able to see right from wrong and in the name of science, we have to ask, how far will this go?
