Sir - I read, with some cynicism, about the recent decision to Government approve scientists plans to produce human/animal hybrids, ie Chimera.

It should be obvious to any logical thinking person that, if it is being openly talked about now, some scientist somewhere has already produced a Chimera and probably many years ago.

We read scientists claims that they are all honest and only want to be famous for being proved right. What better way to stack the odds in their favour, on both counts, than by already having quietly produced the finished product? Could this really be true?
