"blending of human, animal forms"? They're not making six-tittied cat women.
A mouse that looks exactly like any other lab mouse, but has been genetically engineered to have tissues and biochemistry that make it more useful for research? What's the down side, exactly? Are we talking Secret of NIMH scenarios here?
I'm less concerned about chimeric organisms showing up in research laboratories (even if they do happen to have "human genes") than I am about corporations making chimeric food crops. And I'm not that concerned about GM food (then again, I don't have any food alergies).
