Scientists in the U.S. have been struggling for years just to get any human embryos to work with in the lab. But in England, scientists have not only been working with human embryos, but also conducting more than 150 secret experiments mixing human-animal hybrid embryos in a search for possible cures for a number of diseases.
According to the Daily Mail Online, three labs in the U.K. were granted licenses to do the research by the 2008 Human Fertilization Embryology Act to carry out the research. They created a variety of hybrids, including an animal egg fertilized by a human sperm, a "cybrid," in which a human nucleus is implanted into an animal cell, as well a "chimera," in which human cells are mixed with animal embryos.
The revelation came after a group of leading scientists warned earlier this week of a "Planet of the Apes" scenario and called for new rules to prevent lab animals from being given human attributes. The lead author of that report said scientists were not worried about human-animal hybrid embryos because by law they have to be destroyed within 14 days, understanding that there is an imperative to pursue embryonic research, but that it needs to have "sufficient controls."
But he did insist on stricter controls on experiments in which animal embryos are implanted with a small amount of human genetic material. More than 155 of these hybrids have been created since 2008, but all the labs have stopped at this point because they've run out of funding.

Turn your head if you like, we'll wake you when we find the answer.
how would you go about finding an answer?
For example, the psychotic human coyotes in government; Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, etc.
In order for human beings to develop, they require lots of proteins from human oocytes to control and regulate proper development.
Again, it's highly unlikely that an offspring would actually develop from this (in fact, it's impossible).
If nothing else, this is a grossly ill-informed stance to have on the process and regardless of what you call the results, embryos are not needed.
Save the controversy. Use ASCs and only ASCs.

We are so far away from something like this it is ridiculous to even consider it happening like in the movies (The island of Dr Moreau), etc. People are a bunch of ass hats.
