Coming from the area, and culture that I do, I believe I can understand the concerns of those who framed this particular piece of legislation....but will say, there has been some 'hybridization', if broadly looking at it so, in the form of humans who have had animal organs as temporary or long-term relacement organs...but of course it's not mingling chromosomes, etc....the further science reaches-or is able to-it is important, to at least take careful steps, as humanity goes forward as a race...before stepping off into any particular endeavors, be it cloning-I'd say an easier issue-human-wise-to agree on than animal version...or this issue...
