According to the British newspaper "Liberation", the British Albion announced, "Soon it will be possible to create a half-animal embryo". Organization of the Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority (HFEA), the British agency that is responsible for the scientific and medical uses of human embryos, now fully endorsed the conduct of this experiment. Thus, the United Kingdom will be the first state to formally authorized the procedure. First such embryos hybrids have already been received in private research laboratories led by the American Society for advanced cell technology. Operation is growing on embryo cloning procedure that involves injecting the nucleus of a human cell in the oocyte of a cow or a sheep without its DNA. As a result, the embryo has human genes in the nucleus of cells, which are functionally more important. Its cytoplasm contains animal genes.
Last year, two British research laboratories requested permission to conduct such research, which has caused a prolonged dispute. Their goal was to study the original cells used for cloning and allow to deal with degradation at the cellular level.
To get an embryo requires the use of hundreds of oocytes. To do this, dozens of females undergo hormonal treatments to deliver to investigate this important matter.
61% of members of the British government agreed to the further conduct of such experiments.
London has been a leader in research on embryonic cell-level.
