28 April 2021, 04:04 pm Some experts in the United States and China were able to achieve the first human-monkey embryos. These mixed embryos or chimeras are currently great innovations since they can be used by other scientists in the future, especially in the medical industry. These embryos were put in test tubes for around 20 days, as explained by the involved scientists in a joint research team from China and the U.S. "This is not a work of bad taste, but [one] of highly practical value," said the lead author of the new study, Tan Tao. "A remarkable step has been taken scientifically that raises urgent issues of public concern. We need to figure out what the right pathway forward is to help guide responsible progress," added Nita Farahany, a bioethicist of Duke University.
