"regulators decided to gauge public opinion before granting any licences"

Certainly most will come to their senses and agree that we need more cow-people.

IMHO, they want to do somatic cell nuclear transfer into bovine oocytes. They may get the most trouble from PETA because of the harvesting of oocytes.

A few years ago, I read a medical thriller based on the idea of cow-human genetic engineering. "In the Blood" by Don Donaldson. Apparently, it may no longer be fiction...

To have a human embryo conception had to happen at some point, so then they are using the powerless innocent life of a human being to advance their thesis.

I guess the regulators sense some "unease" about this.

As with most of these things, the first thing that springs to mind is "unnatural." It is a violation of the natural law. And we all know from the old Frankenstein movies that violating the natural law is not a good idea.

The second thing that springs to mind is that it's better not to let the genie out of the bottle. Once you pop the cork, you will find it very difficult to persuade the genie to go back in again. Or, to put this in less metaphorical terms, once the research has been done, the funds invested, the startup companies hired their researchers, secretaries, and janitors, it will be a great deal more difficult to change your mind.

The best time to stop it is right now, before it starts. But regretably there will always be plenty of people around who will want to do it because, like bill clinton, "I can." Still, it would be far easier to stop it now than to wait until after it gets out of the bottle.
