In this week’s episode of The Conversation Weekly, as new scientific guidelines are released on embryo research and the use of stem cells, we talk to experts about what’s changed – including a recommendation to relax the 14-day time limit for human embryo research. And we hear about a wave of romantic comedy films emerging from South Africa that are re-imagining the city of Johannesburg. It’s been five years since the last set of guidelines from the International Society for Stem Cell ...

I am not sure that either of those essentially biblical words ‘made’ or ‘created’ are the appropriate ones for this monstrous and perverted piece of scientific hubris. The BBC tells us lightly that the experiment has ‘sparked ethical debate’. I should think it has. The more important question is how this research was deemed acceptable and licensed in the first place? It took place in California, which may be part of the answer. The researchers are reported to have said that th...

The cells were inserted in macaque embryos in petri dishes Credit: REUTERS Scientists have grown human cells in monkey embryos with the aim to understand more about how cells develop and communicate with each other. Researchers from the Salk Institute in California have produced what is known as monkey-human chimeras, with human stem cells - special cells that have the ability to develop into many different cell types - inserted in macaque embryos in petri dishes in the lab. However, some et...
