Embryos: we should not follow British lead

I’M sure most people will be horrified to discover that the British government has approved the creation of animal/human hybrid embryos for the purposes of experimentation. The embryos, when created, will be ‘99%’ human.

Only nine months ago, the British government refused to consider this on the basis that the creation of animal/human hybrid beings would be an affront to the dignity of the human person.

But as has been shown many times in many jurisdictions, once respect for human life is lost, what is acceptable scientific endeavour becomes more and more vague.
