In the recent UK debate on the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, there have been conflicting claims about the extent of public support for, or opposition to, human-animal hybrids. Self-selecting polls tend to show opposition to hybrids. Representative-sample polling shows spontaneous opposition but can elicit conditional approval of research, combined with underlying unease. Public opinion is very finely divided, with people generally opposed to this research unless it is likely to lead to medical advances.
在英国近期关于《人类受精与胚胎学法案》的辩论中，对于公众支持或反对人类与动物杂交的程度，出现了相互矛盾的说法。自行选择样本的民意调查往往显示出对杂交的反对。代表性样本民意调查显示出自然的反对，但也能引出对研究的有条件认可，同时还伴有潜在的不安。公众意见分歧非常细微，人们普遍反对这项研究，除非它有可能带来医学进步。
