Rethink on human hybrid experiments

Rethink on human hybrid experiments: “A radical Government re-think on the law governing hybrid embryos will allow scientists to carry out virtually any work they like - if it is approved by regulators. The move opens the door to experiments involving every known kind of human-animal hybrid. These could include both ‘cytoplasmic’ embryos, which are 99.9% human, and ‘true hybrids’ carrying both human and animal genes. In addition ‘chimeras’ made of a mosaic-like mix of cells from different species, and ‘human transgenic embryos’ - human embryos modified with animal DNA - will also be allowed under licence. Provision has also been made for the regulation of hybrid embryo research to incorporate any unforeseen developments that might arise in the future.”

Anyone know what might craw out of Pandora’s Box?
