What did he have to say when his flock were off raping sheep? Nothing, that’s what. But as soon as chimps get involved the church is out there with the scare talking. Racists:
A leading Scottish churchman and bioethics thinktank operator has warned again of the dangers attendant on genetic research, and recommended that there should be a law against men having children with female chimpanzees.
The Scotsman reports today that Calum MacKellar, an Elder of the Church of Scotland who trained as a biochemist, has called for government action to prohibit the possible interbreeding of men and lady chimps to create “humanzees”.
“The Human Fertilisation and Embryo Bill prohibits the placement of animal sperm into a woman,” the worried Christian told the Scotsman.
“The reverse is not prohibited. It’s not even mentioned. This should not be the case.”
Dr MacKellar is apparently concerned about the possible human rights and status of humanzees.
“If it was never able to be self-aware or self-conscious it would probably be considered an animal,” he said. “However, if there was a possibility of humanzees developing a conscience, you have a far more difficult dilemma on your hands.”
You know only a preacher could even think of this. What atheist in their right mind would imagine buggering a monkey? But he is right on one thing - these chimeras do raise some important questions for Christians. For example: If you do knock up a lady monkey - is marriage required, or can you abort the fetus? and if you must rape monkeys, are condoms acceptable?
Being one of the faithful in this day and age seems to be weirder and more difficult than I had imagined.
