So, since there arent any good posts above...Why would anyone be aganist this? If we can cure/treat disease or w/e with stem cells form a human-pig embryo, then why is this bad? Is trying to help out other people bad? Who cares how we do it, lets just do it. Saying this is going to far is pointless as thats is saying we are doding to much to help the people. its not like they will let it live, as it even can past embroitic stage, so whats the big deal? This is good, fund for this. I love science.

It's not all about people. There is more to this planet then people.

If it was not all about people, people would not be where we are today. We are animals, animals that do things to other animals, but we use our brains.

As far as the idea of one of the embryo's being grown beyond an embryo. I'm not positive on this but I doubt it would even be possible. Hell there are Great Cat Species that can't even crossbreed successfully.
