Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords].
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [Lords]
Would my hon. Friend be interested to learn that the United States had a commission to study ethical problems in medicine in 1982, and in its report ““Splicing Life”” it called into question the issue of human/animal hybrids? It asked whether genetic engineering could be used to develop a group of virtual slaves, partly human, partly lower animal, to do people's bidding, so that is not as fanciful as some Labour Members seem to think.
