Animal - Human Embryo Research Approved In Britain
January 17, 2008
Experiments to create Britain’s first embryos that combine human and animal material will begin within months after a government watchdog gave its approval yesterday to two research teams to carry out the controversial work.
Scientists at King’s College London, and the University of Newcastle will inject human DNA into empty eggs from cows to create embryos known as cytoplasmic hybrids, which are 99.9 per cent human in genetic terms.
The experiments are intended to provide insights into diseases such as Parkinson’s and spinal muscular atrophy by producing stem cells containing genetic defects that contribute to these conditions. These will be used as cell models for investigating new approaches to treatment, and to improve the understanding of how embryonic stem cells develop.
They will not be used in therapy, and it is illegal to implant them into the womb. The decision, taken by the by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority HFEA, to grant one-year licences to both teams ends more than a year of uncertainty for the researchers, who first applied for permission in the autumn of 2006.

I think that this is absolutely horrible and displeasing to God under the guise of “doing good” . It opens up the way to evil by a way of creating half animal-half human monsters like we see described in Revelation; It also opens up the way to create animal/animal mixtures. I don’t think they really understand what they are messing with! Scientists or not! What is their spirituality? I also don’t think it is ok to create or mess with embryos by stealing their stem cells or spooning their guts out, even if they are “blastocyts”.,for medical science sake. These were little embryos that couples were hoping to have implanted into their wombs to have become a child, and if doctors are deliberatley overstimulating women’s ovaries to produce so many “throw away embryo” we have a medical conspiracy going on here. Taking fertility drugs is not a pleasent experience. I know. I took them for 10 years, never got pregnant, gave up, then God blessed me with twins who are now 14 years old. I thank God I never did in vitro and never got into a situation where I was talked into donating eggs. However I do think that saving umbilical cord blood stem cells is ok for one’s own family or donation, it is not destroying anyone.
You are trying to bring a Cain again who was half human and half sepent. Watch his behaviour, totally off from spiritual things of GOD.
The cup of wrath for scientist is filling up quickly . Scientists are trying to get into God’s laboratory.
