The big problem for me was the few words he said about actual biology.
To me, it sounded like he was against the use of transgenic animal
models of disease. I don't really think the meant to sound that way,
but if he did, and if laws are passed that accord with what he said,
there's actually a good chance that something I'll be doing next week
would make me a criminal.
I think he was only talking about hybrids, not transgenics. To produce a
human/chimp hybrid has been tried before and failed:

A few years ago, Jeremy Rifkin tried to patent a human/chimp hybrid:

He was going to get a patent so that he could prevent anyone else from
making such a hybrid.
