Animal-Human Hybrids Banned in Some States - ABC News: "Dren, the half-human, half-animal hybrid set to terrorize Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley in the new movie 'Splice,' is pure science fiction, but politicians across the country aren't taking any chances. In the new movie 'Splice,' a human-animal hybrid terrorizes people. In real life, scientists argue mixing human and animal cells could save lives. In the last month Ohio and Arizona have both passed laws forbidding research of animal human hybrids. Proponents of the laws fear Dren-like creations and object morally to the combining human and animal cells. But scientists say the research could lead to cure for AIDS, immunize people against cancer, or grow replacement organs."
