Animal-human embryos need human rights, bishops say

The fact that we're considering animal-human hybrids is scary - even scarier is that the Church isn't exercising it's influence to stop it, just to insure that any chimeras so produced are given human rights.

Why do I feel like I'm living on the Island of Dr. Moreau? It's not even Friday yet.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
