"Six Items a Day of Enduring Insignificance"
------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Is it a science-fiction nightmare or a brave new world? One
way or another embryos containing human and animal material
have been created in Britain for the first time.
A team at Newcastle University announced yesterday that it
had successfully generated "admixed embryos" by adding human
DNA to empty cow eggs in the first experiment of its kind in
Britain.
Admixed embryos are widely supported by scientists and
patient groups as they provide an opportunity to produce
powerful stem-cell models for investigating diseases such
as Parkinson's and diabetes, and for developing new drugs.
Enjoy!
