May be in the UK to create embryos that are a mix of human and animal

In Britain, the bill of the lower house of parliament adopted in the third reading, allowing the creation of hybrid or chimera embryos, reports The Guardian. The procedure for the adoption of the bill was not completed because the need is the approval of the House of Lords. And if the House of Lords to take a decision in the affirmative, then the creation of chimeras in the UK can be approved in November 2008. Experts reported that embryos of chimeras, which are a mix of human and animal can be called a source of stem cells. To remove them from the egg to create mammalian core containing the genetic material of the organism, and instead put the core of a person. As a result, the resulting embryo is not quite human, because its cells will hold a part of the parent animal.
