It should be legal to sell cytoplasmic hybrid animals to the general public

However I would caution readers that my opponent is by his own admission the MD of a travel firm that is ‘quite small'. (See the comments section of his profile). * *This is in no way a personal attack as it greatly outshines what I do as a living. This raises certain issues for me, 1: Would he be able to raise the capital to establish a cutting edge biological lab in North Korea? 2: It is inevitable that Brian Eggleston would seek to ‘synergise' the various branches of his financial empire, thus leading to the employment of Human/Orang-utan hybrid airline pilots with obvious risk to the public. 3: The kudos, and potentially much of the profit involved from the development and marketing of these hybrids will go to North Korea, a brutal repressive dictatorship. 4: Such hybrid slaves may very well act as spies and fifth columnists for evil communist overlords. 5: Users may be forced to learn Korean to issue commands to their creatures. Thus, in the defence of western capitalism I must urge a CON vote. I am however gratified to see that Tatiana, should she be employed by "Eggleston's Ethical Enterprises" is conscientious of current health and safety recommendations concerning the dangers of over-heating in the workplace. "Regarding my opponent's suggestion that these hybrids would be almost indistinguishable from humans or orang-utans, I'm afraid I must contradict him. Although it is true they would be either 99.9% orang-utan or human, that 0.1% makes all the difference. After all, chimpanzees share 99.4% of their DNA with humans (2) but you would agree, I'm sure, that chimps shouldn't be afforded human rights. " Though I was unaware of the figure of a 99.4% similarity with human DNA as the figure is revised constantly, there is an argument that Chimps should be accorded a far greater level of rights or protection due to their previously underestimated levels of intelligence. . http://www.timesonline.co.uk... My opponent argues that those made unemployed by the introduction of cybrids could be "re-trained to do skilled jobs. Otherwise they could become comedians like Bobby Ball (out of Cannon and Ball) and Ed Large (out of Little and Large), both of whom were thrown onto the scrapheap when Margaret "the milk-snatcher" Thatcher closed down all the heavy industries up North. " However not everyone is mentally, or psychologically capable of being retrained for skilled jobs, not everyone is able to access such training. Even if the Government puts aside money for this role it will likely be embezzled by a new labour apparatchik. Additionally not everyone has the comedy genius of Bobby Ball and Ed Large, such giants are few and far between. My opponent argues that, "I do accept, however, that Humanutans™ might be mistaken for chavs, but surely this is a good thing? As chavs don't usually have jobs and just sponge off the dole instead, if they were rounded up by pest control officers who mistook them for cybrids and were then either sold off to the highest bidder or put down, the taxpayer would save a fortune in unemployment and housing benefits and we would also rid the streets of unruly yobs. " This however is not a valid rebuttal, as the introduction of cybrids would not in itself cause the Government to take such wise, humane and utilitarian steps. It is far more likely that chavs, and hybrids mistaken for chavs will be indulged until the collapse of civilisation. At which point the hybrids will take control of the shattered world. . http://daddytypes.com... My opponent considers the dangers of interbreeding by saying, "However, I doubt this nightmare scenario would ever materialise. After all, this type of sexual deviancy is rife in Norfolk (a rural English county stereotypically associated with inbreeding) yet the result is merely a mentally-challenged population most of whom are incapable of taking care of themselves much less taking over the world! (Did you know, by the way, that the medical slang term "NFN" to mean idiotic comes from "Normal For Norfolk"? (4))" Is my opponent willing to take the risk that his wife or daughter may somehow produce a creature such as this, . http://www.worldoflongmire.com...
