This article summarizes two opinion polls conducted in early 2008 about the use of human-animal embryos in the United Kingdom, with both surveys finding the majority of respondents opposed to the concept.

This poll by Opinion Research Business of 1,000 people suggests the British public opposes the creation of animal-human hybrid embryos for experimentation purposes.

Another related survey published in March 2008 by ComRes found that 60% thought it was wrong to create animal-human embryos and 51% agreed that the creation of “savior siblings” denies the child a choice in how his or her body is used.
