Although it sounds like the stuff of science fiction, a British government panel has approved the creation of interspecies clones -- human-animal hybrids for use in medical experiments.

The British panel insisted that these genetically engineered embryos would never be implanted in human or animal wombs. However, that line will be almost certainly be crossed as soon as perceived scientific necessity demands it.

Experiments of this sort are representative of the so-called ?Transhumanist? movement. As Wesley J. Smith of the Discovery Institute explains, Transhumanists believe that ?human beings, as we exist now, aren't good enough, and that under the supervision and guidance of god-like scientists we can seize control of our evolution and achieve perfection.?

This demented dream resonates with the Great Lie hissed by the Serpent in Eden: ?Then ye shall be as gods.? It is also in harmony with the depraved Nazi objective of creating a ?Master Race? through controlled genetics ? and the liquidation of those deemed ?life unworthy of life.?

Let us stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
