The UK Parliament voted to allow the creation of human-animal embryos in an effort to give scientists the necessary “tools” in stem-cell research.

Some say it’s unethical, and one Catholic cardinal went so far as to deem it “Frankenstein science”, but it could be argued that tossing a perfectly good embryo into the bin that could otherwise have been used to possibly cure a person suffering from Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, or even cancer is truly unethical.
