I don't think this is necessarily true to all people. For example, the Catholic Church is strongly opposing it, and an argument like 'it could help cure cancer' isn't going to make an ounce of difference. Catholics in general still speak strongly against contraceptive methods in Africa to stop the spread of AID's, so what makes people think we'll do something as barbaric as combining the genes of different species in order to cure something that is already far more curable than AID's?

Quite a conservative rant there, not entirely MY view as I was brought up liberally as a catholic, but definitely an existing view.
