Bwahahaha, the anti-manimal lobby strikes again

The shrill evilutionist, PZ Meyers, explains what Bush was really getting at with his plans to ban "animal-man hybrids."

So what scientists have been doing is inserting human genes into mice, to produce similar genetic overdoses in their development. As I reported before, there have been partial insertions, but now a team of researchers has inserted a complete human chromosome 21 into mouse embryonic stem cells, and from those generated a line of aneuploid mice that have many of the symptoms of Down syndrome, including the heart defects. They also have problems in spatial learning and memory that have been traced back to defects in long-term potentiation in the central nervous system.

These mice are a tool to help us understand a debilitating human problem.

Yesterday, Bush told an audience in Music City, that in his job he has to be as much an "ejikatur in chief" as "cimmandur in chief." And something tells me that, despite his leaden...er...lofy rhetoric the other night, science is not going to be much of a priority for the rest of his term.
