U.S. Scientists Create Part Male Part Female Human Embryos
European academic groups expressed opposition to the research
CHICAGO, July 3, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Scientists from Chicago's Center for Human Reproduction announced at a Madrid conference on reproductive technology this week that they had created male/female hybrid human embryos. Lead researcher Norbert Gleicher said that the privately funded experiments saw 12 human embryos develop normally after cells from male human embryos were transplanted into 21 one-day-old female embryos.
This latest outrage in mutilation and destruction of innocent human life caught even scientists off guard. Various European academic groups expressed opposition to the research. However, the move came as no surprise to pro-lifers who have warned for decades that the depths of depravity of such research would always find new lows and that much worse will inevitably occur unless respect for human life is finally restored.
Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition Canada, told LifeSite, "Once they started sanctioning killing of the unborn, then anything became possible since human life is no longer seen as sacred but as an expendable commodity to be exploited for personal ambitions and profit."
