Human-Animal Babies

Scientists have been creating humans that are part mice, rabbits, and sheep. Catholic bishops in the United Kingdom, where these experiments are expanding, have just said the embryos should not be killed when the scientists are done with them.

Well I think most Chinese science are just good special effects.
Just an example:

no offense meant to the Chinese people.

If this is in fact happening, then I hope they don’t accidentally create the anti-Christ using a jackal

How about the Catholic Bishops speaking out against creating them in the first place. Such experiments are monstrous.

I agree but perhaps some Catholic Bishops are speaking about that.

Freakish. Unnecessary. Expensive.

In the UK, the Academy of Medical Sciences announced in November 2009 that they would study the ethics of human-animal hybrids. They expected the review to take 12-18 months.

Here is a disturbing quote from the news article:
Telegraph article:

Dr Robin Lovell-Badge, head of development genetics at the Medical Research Council, said that while monkeys with human faces and animals that talked have yet to be created the technology was “pretty much there”.

“Human like animals are still science fiction but it is not that far away from development,” he said.

“There may be very good research reasons to do it but it might also upset the public.”

In May and June of this year, the Academy of Medical Sciences accepted public comments on this topic.

Does anyone know if the UK bishops or other Catholic representatives took part?

I agree, it certainly is important for the Church to speak against such experiments in the first place. The two articles in the opening post indicated that there have been Catholic protests against such experiments, but I did not track down and post in the opening post what the bishops may have said before, because recent news items are most suitable in this news forum.
