This is scary. I love how they say “don’t worry it will be illegal to (name removed by moderator)lant these half man half animal embryos into a womb”.

uhhh wasn’t it “illegal” to clone animals. Yeah they followed that law.

Speaking of law whatever happened to Natural Law?
 
I must have missed this in the article, but what advantage does this gain us? Why is the necessary to even do?

I think it is intended to find cures or treatments for diseases. Here is a snippet at the end of the article:
A team led by Lyle Armstrong at Newcastle University’s stem cell institute has applied to the HFEA to use cow eggs to develop stem cells for the treatment of diabetes and spinal paralysis.

Another team led by Professor Stephen Minger, director of the stem cell biology laboratory at King’s College London, wants to use human-bovine embryos to study degenerative neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

But I agree with Franciscan, this is worrisome stuff.
 
Here goes more of the slippery slope stuff which may be even harder to recover from. More reasons to pray!

I think it’s important to remember *nothing is done without God allowing it *and in a sense it seems that science, being as it has turned against God is the rod God is using to beat His Church into shape along with the Jihadists. I think before His return we will see unimaginable horrors, but will we be faithful? Will the Son of Man find faith on the earth? I also finding it interesting that many of the mythological creatures were these “half man half animal” type creatures, perhaps this was forseen long ago by the prince of darkness? Food for thought.
 
“But the new proposal would not allow the creation of “true hybrid” embryos, which would involve fertilising a human egg with animal sperm or vice versa.” (from article)

I didn’t know the above was even possible. Not allowing “true hybrid” embryos seems to suggest it is possible to create them. Would these hybrids have rational souls?

Life cannot be created, only tampered with and munipulated using the stuff already here, science is not and never will be God and I do not know of any scientist who would be able to create a living cell out of thin air, they only manipulate what God created.

God breathed life into the first man and all the genetic material that has come down through our first parents has the Divine spark because God created the human person in His image and likeness.

I believe each human soul is a gift granted by God and God is faithful to impart life to all human beings that have come down from Adam and Eve, almost like a law that He created and has bound himself to, He’s the giver of life and he’s faithful to it.

If this hybrid has enough of the genetic makeup to become human in some form would God not honor that for the glory of His name? It’s an interesting question. How much more will God tolerate though, I think we are on the brink really:

*“As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as no one has ever seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only consolation which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and priests.” *

Wasn’t there a Saint that pedicted this and something about the people rising up against the scientists? There was someone on this forum that had a site that had predictions( not sure if this is the word to use) from Saints
 
They can tamper and manipulate life however they see fit in playing God, but who’s to say that the thing they create will live. Just look at Dolly, the first clone sheep. She’s dead already.
 
“And it’s illegal to ever turn these cells into a living being.”

If it already wasn’t alive then what use would it be to science? That it is alive and can divide and multiply is exactly why they want to use it for science! :rolleyes: These people are so blinded, for all of their secular knowledge, they seem to have lost all common sense.
 
I never thought I’d say it but maybe Catholics could team up with PETA!?!?! I mean they gotta view this as wrong too, right? :bigyikes:

As far as I know, they’ve been silent on every animal cloning/embryonic issue so far that they aren’t involved now isn’t surprising.
 
Well, I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again:

In 1900, the “hot” science that all the brilliant young minds wanted to be part of was physics. In the 80-odd years that followed, meddling around with physics took us in directions that nobody ever expected—atomic bombs that could destroy cities, hydrogen bombs that could destroy entire countries, arms races that bordered on the literal extinction of humanity, unstable nuclear power plants that led to Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, and vast tracts of land in both the United States and the former Soviet Union that have been poisoned by radioactive waste, and which will remain lethally toxic virtually forever.

Okay, so now it’s 2007, and now the “hot” science that all the brilliant minds want to fiddle around with is biology. Considering where physics took us in the last century, and considering that history does tend to repeat itself, coupled with what the biologists are tinkering around with as we speak, quite frankly scares the hell out of me. God alone only knows what kind of hideous mess they’ll saddle us with before 2100.
