Now they want to create embryos that are part human, part animal?

What exactly are they trying to do? The tower of Babel repeating itself as man uses his advanced technology to create hybrid life forms?

Well, this group of Scientists in the US are working to make embryos that are part human, part animal. Their reason? It's an attempt to save the lives of people suffering from various diseases. 

But report says other scientists warn that such experiments could damage people's sense of humanity. They questioned,

"Would a human-animal chimera have human rights? Could it be patented and owned? What if it were 99.9 percent human and 0.1 percent chimpanzee? What of the reverse situation?"

Partially human hybrid embryos are created by fusing human cells and animal eggs, and partially human chimeric embryos are created by injecting human embryonic stem cells into animal embryos.
