The Arizona legislature continues its important work.

The Arizona state Senate on Thursday passed a bill making it illegal for a person to “intentionally or knowingly creating a human-animal hybrid.”

The bill, which passed 16 to 12, would prohibit anyone in the state from “creating or attempting to create an in vitro human embryo by any means other than fertilization of a human egg by a human sperm.”

Ummm, ok. Dear Science, is this an actual problem? Are people working on human-animal hybrids? Really?

Note that the bill only makes it a felony to knowingly create such a hybrid, so buying one or making one accidentally in your garage when you trip and fall into the dog while cleaning and organizing your immigrant-bashing sticks is only a misdemeanor.

These guys are really on a roll. I can't wait to hear what they come up with next.
