Hybrid Embryo: Gene Therapy, or the Creation of Centaurs.

The whole idea about using the mix of human nuclei in the stem cells of animals (birds), is actually a good idea. Before all the neo conservatives jump on my shit about this, let me explain why I think so.

First of all, human and animal DNA, cannot combine to form a fetus. DNA of an animal and of a human being have completely different sets and numbers of chromosomes, it is, in fact, physically impossible to combine the two. Don't worry, we will never have a manchicken, a man with wings, or a centaur.

This is, a very very, good idea. It takes out the need for harvesting stem cells from humans, including aborted embryos. This would, of course, shutup the Christian vs Science need for human embryos. Wouldn't that just be great?....sorry, I'm aware that was untasteful and disdainful.

This research will most certainly help for gene therapy for cancer, tumors, mulitple sclerosis, Parkinson's, Hotchkins, and even Alzheimers. Yeah, I'll say it, Centaur science is a damn good idea if they can make it work. That's how it Bottom lines up.
