Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Arizona legislature targets 'human-animal hybrids'
The Arizona state Senate on Thursday passed a bill making it illegal for a person to “intentionally or knowingly creating a human-animal hybrid.”
The bill, which passed 16 to 12, would prohibit anyone in the state from “creating or attempting to create an in vitro human embryo by any means other than fertilization of a human egg by a human sperm.”
The measure would also outlaw “transferring or attempting to transfer a human embryo into a nonhuman womb,” “transferring or attempting to transfer a nonhuman embryo into a human womb” and “transporting or receiving for any purpose a human-animal hybrid.”

I would have some concern this might make it illegal to do some research with say splicing in a human gene into a mouse embryo. But the other stuff makes it sound like that isn't what they are targeting. Which, okay, don't know that it's really an issue, but I can't say I have any objection.

Sure, that's what you say now, but wait until you realize your world-domination plans will depend on having an army of hybrid human/emperor penguin stormtroopers....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Would it count as a human animal hybrid if I just had them splice in a prehensile tail?
Also, would that be forbidden under the Arizona law?
