Funny thing about scientists - if they work out they are able to do something, they tend to try and do it. They are more interested in experimenting than they are considering the ethics. Turns out a half human, half chimpanzee is possible:

Dr Calum MacKellar, director of research at the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, warned the controversial draft Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill did not prevent human sperm being inseminated into animals.

He said if a female chimpanzee was inseminated with human sperm the two species would be closely enough related that a hybrid could be born.

He said scientists could possibly try to develop the new species to fill the demand for organ donors.

The question that comes to mind is, would it look like President Bush?
