The Catholic News Agency is reporting that The Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority in Great Britain is studying whether or not to allow the creation of a human-animal embryo hybrid as requested by King’s College in London and the University of Newcastle. The apparent purpose of this 99% human, 1% animal, would be to harvest its stem cells at 14 days post conception.
The level of hubris shown by these scientists is sad but not surprising. We have not learned, as a society, to curb our tendencies to build our towers of Babel, thinking we alone can reach the heights of creation.
