Different people may have different ideas about these hydrid embryos. Some people think it is an important step forward in scientific research. If these hydrid embryos are used for scientific research, it will lead to the possible treatment of some difficult diseases. They think this is something really good.Others think it is a step too far, and a terrible step. In their opinion, if these hydrid embryos are allowed to grow either on purpose or by accident and result in some strange creatures, that would be really frightening.
