A team of researchers from the United States and China has made a breakthrough that has some ethicists concerned. The scientists successfully created embryos that are a mix of human and monkey cells. They hope the mixed-species embryos, which are known as chimeras, can be used to grow organs for people who need a transplant. These chimeric approaches could be really very useful for advancing biomedical research not just at the very earliest stage of life, but also the latest stage of life,
In the United States, over 110,000 people are currently on the waiting list for a life-saving organ transplant, and a new person is added to the list every ten minutes. More than 8,000 people die every year waiting for an organ.
Part Human, Part Monkey Embryos Raise Ethical Concerns Among Scientists
For the first time in history, scientists have created an embryo that’s part human and part monkey. But why?
The news is being met with concern and hesitation across the scientific community. The work was just featured in the journal
Cell, but the reaction hasn’t been what the scientists had hoped.
A New Way to Supply Transplant Organs
The international scientists behind the study say they created the embryos to try and find new ways of growing organs for people who need a transplant.
“This is one of the major problems in medicine organ transplantation. The demand for that is much higher than the supply,” said Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, co-author of the study and a professor in the Gene Expression Laboratory of the Salk Institute for Biological Sciences in La Jolla, CA.
