"Embryos have been produced secretively for the past three years. Scientists have created more than 150 human-animal hybrid embryos in British laboratories.
The hybrids have been produced secretively over the past three years by researchers looking into possible cures for a wide range of diseases.
The revelation comes just a day after a committee of scientists warned of a nightmare Planet of the Apes scenario in which work on human-animal creations goes too far.

for the last three years (Posed by models)
Last night a campaigner against the excesses of medical research said he was disgusted that scientists were dabbling in the grotesque.
Figures seen by the Daily Mail show that 155 admixed embryos, containing both human and animal genetic material, have been created since the introduction of the 2008 Human Fertilisation Embryology Act."
