It is outrageous that the Taliban tried to blow up Dick Cheney. They would of had a much better chance of success if they had used a sniper rifle or a shoulder launched grenade.
Talking of half human, half other species, i find the whole debate over whether or not to create embryos that are part-human, part-animal, as unnerving.
I know that scientists claim they could use the cross species to research lifesaving stem cell therapies and treatments for diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and cystic fibrosis.
The researchers would take a cell from a patient and insert it into an animal egg to make an embryo. Embryonic stem cells extracted from the embryo would then be grown into nerves and other tissues, giving scientists unprecedented insight into how the disease develops in the body.
It seems to have overtures of 'The Island of Dr. Moreau' about it to me which all leads nicely to that well worn joke about a friends boyfriend who likes to tell everyone that he is an animal in the bedroom.
He poops in the corner.

I hope the scientists won't mind if the half-people form a half-army and half-kill them then.
I think it's more outrageous that some American hasn't shot Cheney and Bush before now. Cheers!
That's creepy. Just plain creepy.
Come to think of it, humans are animals so you really can't have a half-human half-animal combination!
Cheers!
I'm reminded of Mark Twain's comment about cross-breeding humans with cats..... he said it would improve the human, but cheapen the cat.
And this creature would be worse than humans in what way?
I mean, serious question, Lucy.
Especially given the state of the world today, I think we could only benefit.
