Brits to Allow Human/Animal Combo Embryos

extract:
------
Last year the British government proposed outlawing research on 
chimeric embryos created using animal eggs and human genes. British 
scientists objected and it now looks as though the Labour government 
is going to back down from its ban.

Meanwhile Republican presidential hopeful, Sen. Sam Brownback (Kan.), 
has introduced legislation that would ban such research in the United 
States.
