Keywords: human embryos half-human, half-horse Monster
Legend has it that in ancient Greece in the Prairie, flanked by a group of people who face horse body full of communities because they are difficult to control body of the animal and the slaughter of civilians, the ultimate extinction by the gods '. But if in real life, a personal fitness monster, you can accept the? recently, the United Kingdom House of Commons voted to cultivate "human embryos" motion blends. The news broke, the dispute on the human embryo is fierce. The medical profession generally considers that the use of hybrid embryos in stem cell cultures of various body tissues, such as the treatment of leukemia, Parkinson's disease has worked wonders. Because these organizations have a patient's genetic characteristics, the body does not produce rejection. United Kingdom Prime Minister Brown made it clear that support that this study will "save and change millions of lives." Some religious organizations you stand in the position of human ethics, criticized the "beast acts", will break between man and animal. United States President George w. Bush had to experiment "beyond human morals forbid" Government funding such research.
In fact, the "human embryos" and nurture not traditional donkey and horse mating birth to Mule-hybrid, it is from human skin cells into cells that extracted out of animal egg cell in the cell nucleus. The experiment of Stephen · ramminger explained, the embryo of the gene in 99.9% comes from the people, almost without animal genetic gene. This and the people imagine "investigation of hybrid" products by far.
In the scientific community, "personal service" is nothing new. The first cases of successful human hybridization experiments is the human egg cell transplantation of the rabbit, nurturing human embryonic stem cells. United States, Minnesota, by Jeffrey · Platte doctors will be moved into human stem cells and embryos of pigs, hope to cultivate a human heart valve. Scientists at the University of Nevada to the sheep in the transplantation of human embryonic cells, it is said that these sheep liver 80% stem cells is the human cells.
Investigation of Hybrid embryo research has followed a cell clone after-the-art technology, but in many key issues, or restricted. For example, the United Kingdom the human fertilization and embryo Act will prohibit the male animal sperm and ovum woman. Canada also adopted the assisted human reproduction Act, the regulations do not include non-human cells imported human embryos. In addition, the study there are strict time limits — the survival of a hybrid embryos must be destroyed within 14 days.
A beautiful picture of science makes one long for, but a lot of research and development, lack of appropriate legal and ethical constraints so deeply. Investigation of hybrid embryos is causing species boundaries blur, eventually the Earth really appear "candidate for the family", it seems really have to wait and see.
