what if it were a horse with a mask of a woman on it?

President Bush has taken an anti-hybrid position that we here at BlogNAC just can't support:

A hopeful society has institutions of science and medicine that do not cut ethical corners, and that recognize the matchless value of every life. Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research -- human cloning in all its forms ... creating or implanting embryos for experiments ... creating human-animal hybrids ... and buying, selling, or patenting human embryos.

Human-animal hybrids could help defend our borders, fight the war on terror, or provide an alternative energy source. If history is any guide, the only payment these hybrids will demand is a tribute of seven young men and seven young women every nine years. That ends up being barely more than 1.5 sacrifices per year. I think that's a fair price to pay to have a Mintotaur army, don't you?
