Answers

The United Kingdom has become the first country in the world to allow scientists to create human-animal embryos for research purposes. The research involves transferring nuclei containing DNA from human cells to animal eggs that have had nearly all their genetic information removed. The resulting embryos are, therefore, mostly human, with a small animal component. Stem cells, which can grow into different kinds of tissue, are then harvested from these embryos. The embryos could give researchers a large supply of stem cells to work with. Scientists have, until now, relied on human eggs left over from fertility treatment, which are in short supply and often poor quality.
