The fantasy is over-- for Arizona.
Apparently the state senate of Arizona isn't content to just make it legal to hassle all Hispanics for their paperwork-- word is that they just passed a bill making it illegal to "intentionally or knowingly creat[e] a human-animal hybrid."
I have no idea why exactly they were so worried about this, but the law prohibits anyone in AZ from attempting to make a human baby with an animal by any means, including transferring a nonhuman embryo into a human, or a human embryo into a non-human.

So if you're the kind of weirdo who thinks catgirls-- or dog girls or wolf girls or whatever --are actually plausible science and looks forward to it, protip: move away from Arizona. And Louisiana. (Via Otaku Review.)

what? i had to take the goodside of this right?
Someone on the state legislature probably just read The Island of Doctor Mareau. I believe there was also a state government that passed a law that made it illegal to implant microchips into people. They even heard testimony from some woman who claimed she had a microchip implanted into her with out her consent. She said, under oath, it was put into her "nether region", and that her coworkers were secretly activating it like a pager using a special phone number.
I actually drink AriZona Green Tea on a regular basis. The other day I was checking to see where it was made. Thankfully, it's made in New York and the AriZona is just a name. The next day I saw them talking about it in the news.
I hate your Arizona, the state not people who live there, not only are you trying to kick out the people who lived there before you but you also apparently hate science

Well it seems much more likely to be dealing with the development of human chimeras for the use in the medical industry.
Chimeras are used in many parts of the medical industry to mass produce a certain drug (like how insulin for use in medicine is produced by recombiant DNA where the DNA sequences for producing insulin are genetically engineered into another lifeform [E. Coli being the first to use this procedure] to mass produce it) or grow human organs or for the study of the effect of human-esque systems (like gentically engineering mice with a human-esque immune system) in chimeras.
I don't think that the state of Arizona was thinking about cat girls or other more obvious human animal hybrids.
Any ways i think this is more about not being able to grow human organs in animals, not make humans into cat people. The idea is that you can take the cells of let say a human heat, and put them in the embro of lets say a pig, (Note: this is just the general idea, i proabably not 100% on the science) the big would then grow a human heart instead of a normal pig's heart. the big can still live with the heart, and say you suffer heart failure of some kind, they could just take the copy of your heart from the pig.
On the other hand, they might have wound up spending it on something bad, so I guess it could be worse.
Yeah, but adsmit that the part on make sex with animal, is kinda crazy.
And, I don't know, if there is no mean to save a embryo except to put him in a animal organism, it's kinda limit, no ?
More of that, it's not very good to forbid something that has yet to being test : the fact is that nobody really know what this will do.
I don't want to see it done on unwilling human test subject, but stop it for religious reason is the same that forbidding people watching TV because you believe it will corrupt their soul...

This is the part of the law that just pass in the state of Arizona.
So I guess are laws are that bad.
Let's look a Mexico law on this matter when you are in Mexico and are a US citizen.
So who has the hard line when it comes to illegal immigration and dose not. We in Arizona are just enforceing federal law.
So what's the problem here.
If you want to talk silly laws they want to pass in Santa Clara County Calfornia. Read this news article.
Santa Clara County.
Talk about stupid.
Rednecks are in the other south, mostly.
Does Arizona have some problem with beastiality or something? This law sounds straight up dumb. I'm all for advancing genetics and technology and studying evolution and the like. If someone wanted to be a hybrid they can go right ahead (except going out and having sex with the animal).
Some people's worries and idiocies know no bounds.
