"Two Christian groups launched a legal battle today against a decision to allow university researchers to create human-animal embryos.

The Christian Legal Centre (CLC) and Comment on Reproductive Ethics (Core) said they had filed papers at the high court seeking a judicial review of the decision by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) to grant licences to scientists at Newcastle University and King's College London."
