Human Animal Hybrids Grown in Lab

For the past three years, British labs have secretly been creating up to 150 human animal hybrid embryos. Since the introduction of the 2008 Human Fertilization Embryology Act this british laboratory has upwards of 155 mixed embryos containing both animal and human genes and a variety of hybrids including animal eggs fertilized by human sperm; animal cells implanted with human nucleus "cybrids"; humans cells mixed with animal embryos also called "chimeras". The scientists are claiming that, by using these techniques, embryonic stem cells can be created and used to help cure many diseases. Although these hybrids sound promising in the possibilities in curing disease, ethically, many researchers are chastised for their work and many labs lost funding for this type of research. Many people do not believe in this type of research and are making is sound as though there will be a planet of the apes uprising but in fact, many lives can be saved using this research including the ability to use animals for human organ transplants. If we could use, for example pig organs for human transplants, the tens of thousands of people on the transplant list may not die waiting for help. Scientists are introducing humans genes into animals in hopes to lessen the number of transplants that are rejected in those who receive donor organs. Whatever your opinion is on the subject is your opinion but do the research before you begin to judge.
