Here is a thread to wake up anyone still sleepy. Time for some bacon and eggs.

British plans to create cloned human embryos that contain small amounts of cow DNA have been set back by about a year, after regulators decided to gauge public opinion before granting any licences.

Scientists want to use cow eggs to create and study cloned embryos because human eggs are in desperately short supply. Injecting human DNA into animal eggs, creating a 'chimaera' mix of species, gets around this problem. The work could lead to new treatments for conditions such as Parkinson's disease, and the idea of creating chimaeras for research purposes is relatively uncontroversial among scientists. Researchers elsewhere, such as China, have done work with chimaeric embryos before.

Proposals for cow-human embryos put on hold

Nothing new or surprising about cow people in England.

Just when you think these people can't come up with anything more bizarre, they turn around and shock us again.
