Britain And Its Blended Children

Britain crossed the “ultimate boundary” yesterday when the British parliament voted to legalize abominations. Scientists can now legally create “true hybrids,” fertilizing animal eggs with human sperm. The nation who scored its noblest victory sixty-three years ago against the Nazis, voted in its own defeat yesterday against a greater enemy: Satan. And the devil danced. The British Parliament voted to allow such mixes since there is a shortage of human eggs for research. A shortage that exists, no doubt, because most women find abhorrent the idea of inseminating one of their own eggs with animal sperm. So British Parliament chose a different route: to allow the reverse and legalize using human sperm to fertilize animal eggs. The base assumption must be that there is no shortage of human sperm, that harvesting sperm doesn’t require invasive surgery like harvesting eggs does, or perhaps the implicit value of the male half of reproduction is worth less protection than that of human female eggs. Who knows? In any case, Parliament said that these hybrids are for research only and cannot be transferred into the womb of an animal or a woman. Foolish shortsightedness given: What of artificial wombs? Perhaps not possible now, but given the rate and depravity of science at this point, someone will surely create an artificial womb in the near future.
