Remember all those nasty experiments Hitler did to breed gorillas and humans together into a Nazi Super Soldier? Well, the University of Edinburgh, who brought us Dolly the sheep, still thinks it's a good idea.
Not to promote Nazism, of course. No, no. And certainly not to make a better soldier. Who would want that??
But objecting to a Scottish government report that suggested combining animals and people might be a bit rash, Dr. Ian Wilmut (Dolly's dad) cried out in shock and alarm, "By casting a negative light on a number of important research opportunities, this report may limit medical progress."
Don't worry: Regulations on which humans should be joined to what beasts may be issued as early as October.
