Sam Brownback bans human-animal hybrids

[penguinking]

Sam Brownback, and 19 other Republican senators (plus one Democrat) have united in a bipartisan coalition to tackle a major issue facing our country today; human-animal hybrids.

Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) has introduced a bill- the Human-Animal Hybrid Prohibition Act- that will ban human-animal hybrids (though making an exception for scientific research).

I'm glad the Senate Republicans are finding useful things to do with their time.

So this means I can't marry that sheep I have a crush on?

Weird. I didn't realize that the US gov't was in the process of making chimeras.

FULL METAL ALCHEMIST IS PROPHECY!

Alas, my dream for having my own authentic cat-like tail (At least 3 feet long, all panther black) is never going to come true.

Does that mean Arielle is banned as well? I was looking forward to having my own real mermaid.

I wonder if the ACLU will take this on as violating human rights to self-determination and sexual orientation?

I just heard Rob The Bastard screaming from across the Tasman.

Well, I guess I'll just have to dismantle my lab and move to some small Island out in the Pacific... maybe Val Kilmer will visit me sometime.

But what about growing blood cells and heart and liver inside a pig/monkey?

This wasn't hybrids... they just human organ "refrigators"

[Fragony]

Excellent idea!

So, with the exceptions, this is a completely pointless bill.

If you read his blog, the exception is for growing and harvesting tissues, not for reproductive purposes.

That's the only sane use anyone would ever put this tech to, the whole idea is to sidestep the ethical issues, not make babies.

Not making "real babies" is the reason this tech was invented.

[FactionHeir]

Essentially he is banning non-sane uses of this technology and people's orientations.

It's as if a million furries cried out in pain...and were suddenly silenced.

The bolded part is most intriquing in its broad sentiment and potential "loophole of lulz" application. How or why would the act ban hybrids if the research (the notable exception to the ban) didnt already exsist? Does this mean we already know how to make the hybrids?

Will Centaurs be riding into battle when we invade Pakistan/Iran?
