        The NIH imposed a moratorium on funding these experiments in September because they could raise ethical concerns.

        One fear is scientists might inadvertently create animals with partly human brains, endowing them with a semblance of human consciousness.

        Okay. I am a fairly progressive Catholic. But this is a little too Dr Frankenstein for me.

        Very unwise. When will we learn there are some things one does not trifle with.

        maybe list some positives too instead of just fear? Could model diseases like cancer more accurately. Could grow human organs. For ex.
