Human hybrid bill sponsor talks centaurs, werewolves
ATLANTA-- "Everybody always asks," says Rep. Tom Kirby, repeating the question: "Is it even possible to mix non-human with human embryos? Yes it is."
Kirby (R-Loganville) says scientists did it at Cornell University with the embryos of jellyfish, merged with the genetic material of human beings. Kirby says it's time to draw a legislative line. His bill proposes to make it unlawful "to create a human animal hybrid."
"And I say no. And that's what the bill is really about," Kirby said Friday at the Georgia Capitol. Kirby emphasizes he is not trying to stop research that uses animal genetic material to cure human diseases. His bill specifically exempts such research from his proposed ban.
Still, the bill has drawn its share of skeptics.
"You've got to be real careful when you're dealing with scientific matters, that you're not doing something that has unintended consequences," said Sen. Steve Henson, D-Tucker and Senate minority leader.
