Britain to allow human-animal hybrids

Ever heard of the Book of Enoch? It's not widely accepted as Christian "canon" (although some Coptic Christians consider it to be inspired scripture) but it was mentioned in the Book of Jude (that's the next-to-last one in the Bible just before Revelation). I've read it a couple of times since first hearing about it several years ago. And it's quite an interesting read. Among other things according to the Book of Enoch, the Flood was sent by God to cleanse the Earth because fallen angels - who had originally been charged with taking care of creation - started having sex with human females. The result was a monstrous race of human/angel half-breeds and it got so bad, that the only people left who it could only be said were pure genetically human were Noah and his family: whole new meaning to Noah being "perfect in his generation". So God protected the one pure human remnant left and wiped out the genetic abominations that were befouling the Earth. So according to the Book of Enoch, that is what the great sin was that demanded the Flood.

Even if you don't hold to that story, I think it can be universally accepted that there are some lines that aren't meant to be crossed.

Except now comes word that Great Britain is now going to allow human-animal cross-breeding.

I don't know where to even begin to talk about how this is an insanely bad idea.

Moral issues aside, this just opens up the Pandora's Box of Lord only knows what kind of diseases that could come to afflict man. You know, things that are supposed to be restricted to species not our own. There is serious speculation that some of the prion-form contagions were unintended consequences of genetic experimentation. Is playing with this kind of "science" really worth that risk?

I have to wonder if there is going to be anything left on this Earth that's purely natural in another hundred years, what with how mega-corporations are playing with biology. They're already well on the way to making sure that farmers can only plant the corn and other crops that they have engineered.

Bad stuff coming from this, no doubt about it. It's just a question of who is going to be most responsible for sending the fire next time: God, or man's own folly.
