LEICESTER, United Kingdom – The creation of a human-nonhuman interspecies embryo is “deeply unethical,” according to the UK’s leading Catholic bioethics institute.
The scientific journal Cell published the findings of a U.S.-Chinese team of scientists who placed human stem cells – which have the ability to turn into different types of tissue – into the embryo of a long-tailed macaque monkey, creating a chimera embryo with cells developing from the two different species.
The researchers said they were studying possible methods of creating human organs for transplant, and the embryos were destroyed after 19 days, at which time they claimed they were able to detect human cells still growing in the embryos.

“They cross a moral boundary because they mix human and nonhuman elements at a very early stage of development in a way that raises serious questions about moral status,” he said in a statement.
Jones points out that it is an open question on whether these embryos are human or not.
Was the monkey’s name Ceasar?
I wonder where he came up with that conclusion.
they have to make a news headline for this?
Why don’t they just ask a sixth grader with a semblance of common sense.
The stupidity is so overwhelming
There are a lot of people who thought both of them were good presidents...
To quote Bart Simpson “God Schmod I want my monkey-man”
If it's deemed "human", then the Biden Regime will allow it to be murdered up through delivery, but if it's monkey, the PETA will raise hell if they do!
BTW, is this the same American-Chinese team headed by Dr Fau-Chi that brought us the virus?
i do not see any problem. I mean we already have them here, Matt Damon, Joy Behar, to name just two.
Just like the days of Noah.
And, if they aren't, they soon will be.
Lev 18:23 And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion.
It would be interesting to do a poll to see how many people today even understand what you were talking about. I have trouble even convincing Christians what was going on in the Days of Noah to cause God to condemn the whole earth. Then we had Nephilim, today we have CRISPER.
I hear Pope Francis is going to advance statehood for the hybrid, even though it doesn't exist yet.
Deeply unethical? More like pure evil...

Probably not too many, but it’s not so fringe anymore.
Sounds like the opening scenes of some horror movies.
The question is, why a monkey instead of an ape? Don’t we share more DNA with them than with monkeys? How about Romulans or Klingons?
