So far stem cell research has been a hot topic between research proponents and the pro-life community, but a group of British scientists are poised to change the nature of the debate. Led by Professor Chris Shaw, the group has proposed using human/rabbit embryo hybrids for the controversial research and the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority, which governs the field, isn't ruling out the possibility. Made of rabbit cell material, but controlled by human DNA, legal experts say it is not clear whether the embryos would legally be considered rabbit or human. Regardless, without the hope of viability pro-life groups would largely loose their teeth in the debate.

Move over Operation Rescue, I fear PETA is about to take the stage.
