Britons are out of their mind, it's official.

From UK:

"Ministers have bowed to pressure to allow the creation of human animal hybrid embryos for research.

Public Health Minister Caroline Flint denied that the government had staged a climbdown, saying they had always wanted to "leave the door open" for this type of research to be allowed on a case-by-case basis.

She said scientists had put forward more evidence about the importance of using hybrid embryos.

We saw this was an area where these could be used for scientific benefit Public Health Minister Caroline Flint

"We saw this was an area where these could be used for scientific benefit."

The draft bill allows the creation of human embryos that have been physically mixed with one or more animal cells."



That said, I think it's official that Britons are totally out of their minds. Sometimes they are characterized as being pig-headed... well, that could be, in a not so distant future, more literally than figuratively said.
