Researchers from the university of Newcastle and royal college to London turned themselves into control according to fertilization and embryologies of Great Britain with the request to grant license for conducting of experiments and storage of cells to them.
Scientists would want to use the obtained hybrids for studying stem cells, they are not collected to give to embryo to be developed more several days.
But many political and public workers consider similar experiments as those contradicting ethics and potentially dangerous for the society.
The basic problem of geneticists remains the shortage of the human egg cells, for obtaining which is necessary the agreement of woman- donors to the surgical intervention. Stem cells necessary for the experiment can to extract on the sixth day of the development of embryo, after which genetic material is destroyed. This reason impelled scientists to turn for the permission.
Embryo must be created on the same principle as the cloned sheep of dollies, it to 99.9% is only human. From the egg cell of burenki is moved away entire genetic material, after which into it it is placed BY DNA of man.
The study of stem cells is one of the most urgent and promising trends in the contemporary science. The cells, on basis of which it is possible to grow any tissue of organisms, in the opinion of scientists, will be able soak in the treatment of such illnesses as Alzheimer and Parkinson.
