Probably we all need to take a breath, and come back to reality. A simple introductory course of biology 151 will inform you that when humans meddle in nature, it never ends well. Nature, being the final arbiter, will make such offspring mules, unable to reproduce. Mutation is indeed a survival strategy of evolution but is also spontaneous, rare, and most often takes countless centuries to initiate and succeed.
