The government is officially lifting its moratorium to allow the funding of research that involves scientists injecting human stem cells into animal embryos — in other words, the scientific creation of human-animal hybrids.

 

Via The Washington Times:

 

Carrie D. Wolinetz, NIH’s associate director for science, announced Thursday in a blog post that the agency is requesting public comment on expanding funding for such research, signaling the end of a moratorium on the experimentation.

 

Ms. Wolinetz said development of “these types of human-animal organism … holds tremendous potential for disease modeling, drug testing, and perhaps eventual organ transplant.”

 

“I am confident that these proposed changes will enable the NIH research community to move this promising area of science forward in a responsible manner,” she wrote.

 

Responsible? Uh-huh. Because, if there’s anything that Jurassic Park taught us, it’s that scientists always know everything that could possibly go wrong when they play God.
