Hybrid embryos containing both human and animal material could be created in British laboratories within months. Labels: animal news, bizzare news, health news, technology news, UK
The controversial research was given a green light yesterday by the UK's fertility regulator.
A shortage of human eggs led scientists to seek permission to make hybrid embryos from human skin cells and animal eggs such as those from cows, which are plentiful in slaughterhouses.
Two teams of scientists are poised to start making cow-human hybrids for research into incurable diseases, with at least one project expected to start by the end of the year.
Stem cell expert Dr Stephen Minger, who wants to use the embryos to study conditions such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and motor neurone disease, said the work could "revolutionise drug discovery".
But the decision by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority is likely to be subject to a High Court challenge, with opponents claiming the watchdog is not entitled to rule on the issue.
Josephine Quintavalle, of the campaign group Comment on Reproductive Ethics, said last night: "There is a sense from some people that scientists should never be stopped in their tracks.
"Reproduction with animals has been taboo since the beginning of recorded time and that taboo has remained with us for a reason.
"This is tampering at a very basic level."
Britain is one of the first Western countries to approve such research.
