Brave New World (So Why Am I Hiding Under the Bed?)

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.
What is the Law?

No spill blood!!!

I prefer to read my science fiction, not live it.

Buzz, as you know, the name "Lillian" is from the Talmudic Lilith, of whom mythology says she was the first wife of Adam and a succubus. See Isaiah 34:12-15, which reads:

(12) Her nobles shall be no more, nor shall kings be proclaimed there; all her princes are gone. (13) Her castles shall be overgrown with thorns, her fortresses with thistles and briers. She shall become an abode for jackals and a haunt for ostriches. (14) Wildcats shall meet with desert beasts, satyrs shall call to one another; There shall the lilith repose, and find for herself a place to rest. (15) There the hoot owl shall nest and lay eggs, hatch them out and gather them in her shadow; There shall the kites assemble, none shall be missing its mate.
