Can someone provide clarity on this? The article above refers to human “eggs”. Almost every other article I’ve seen refers to a human “embryo” being injected with animal cells. If it’s an actual embryo being assaulted, this is a monumental level of depravity and a crime against humanity (IMHO).

According to this version of the story in the Guardian, the bill provides for the creation of three different types of perverse, monstrous ethically sensitive human-animal hybrids:

The first kind of hybrid allowed under the bill, known as a chimeric embryo, is made by injecting cells from an animal into a human embryo.

The second, known as a human transgenic embryo, involves injecting animal DNA into a human embryo.

The third, known as a cytoplasmic hybrid, is created by transferring the nuclei of human cells into animal eggs from which almost all the genetic material has been removed.

I notice, moreover, that the law says they can't implant these embryos in the womb of a human mother. But it didn't say anything about not implanting them into the uteri of monkeys, cows, or pigs.

Words fail me.
