From the BBC website this morning.

"Monkey embryos containing human cells have been made in a laboratory, a study has confirmed."

"Commenting on the research, Dr Anna Smajdor, lecturer and researcher in biomedical ethics at the University of East Anglia's Norwich Medical School, said it posed "significant ethical and legal challenges".

She added: "The scientists behind this research state that these chimeric embryos offer new opportunities, because 'we are unable to conduct certain types of experiments in humans'. But whether these embryos are human or not is open to question." "

Monkey business

Just wait until those chimeras start posting on mudcat

Despite the spelling I take that to be a reference to the H.G. Wells book "The Island of Doctor Moreau".
