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.

But the research raises a variety of concerns. My first question is: Why? said Kirstin Matthews, a fellow for science and technology at Rice University s Baker Institute. I think the public is going to be concerned, and I am as well, that we re just kind of pushing forward with science without having a proper conversation about what we should or should not do.
