Sen. Brownback Works to Ban Human Hybrids

Sen. Sam Brownback, R-KS, continues to draw the ire of the biological research community with his proposed "Human Chimera Prohibition Act of 2005."
LJWorld.com: Chimeras sound like something out of a science fiction movie, a fusion of human and animal cells to create something in-between. But they’re real.

“From the moral perspective, to create a human that is less than fully human or to create an animal that possesses particularly unique human aspects should be a serious concern for all of humankind,” Brownback said in a written statement to the Journal-World.
Kudos to Sen. Brownback. He has been an effective voice in this debate.
