  Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill - Human-animal hybrid licenses
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  The majority of MPs voted to make it possible to grant licenses for the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos.
  
  The clause under discussion would insert the words:[2]
  
  ** No person shall
  * mix human gametes with animal gametes,
  * bring about the creation of a human admixed embryo, or
  * keep or use a human admixed embryo, 
  ** except in pursuance of a licence.
  
  into the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990.[3]
  
  The vote in Parliament was to over deleting the phrase, "except in pursuance of a license".
