Hybrid Embryos

Hybrid Embryos 인쇄하기

MPs are about to vote on one of the most controversial aspects of embryo research. In a clash between science and ethics, politicians will be deciding whether to allow the creation of hybrid embryos. That’s the mixing of animal and human DNA. MPs are being allowed to vote with their conscience. Scientists claim the embryos would help provide cures for chronic diseases like Parkinson's. But critics say it's immoral and should be banned. Our medical correspondent Fergus Walsh reports. This machine is ready and waiting to store hybrid embryos. Will it happen? That depends on what politicians not scientists decide. The lead researcher made this appeal to MPs. "Don't ban it. I think to do so would... would really inhibit Britain’s ability to be the world leader in stem cell research and would… would send a wrong message. These cell lines will be used by research groups throughout the world to generate new therapies for disease - therapies that we certainly… we simply don’t have at current time. In a rare debate free of party politics, MPs are deciding the future direction of British science. Some think hybrids immoral. “…This is ethically wrong and almost certainly medically useless, or if not useless, there is no evidence as yet to substantiate it.” But there was strong support for hybrids. “This is the only way we really develop effective treatments. And to hold off means that we actually take a precaution, in principle, which actually, in effect, will kill all of those people who could potentially be saved. These are hybrid embryos, smaller than a pinhead. Yet they’ve prompted this huge moral debate. They’re 99.9 percent human with a tiny amount of animal DNA. Scientists want to extract stem cells from them to study disease. Now, MPs will vote on hybrids in the next half hour and then they’ll move on to another contentious issue, savior siblings. This is where an embryo is selected to be a tissue match for a sick child. When Jamie W. was born, his umbilical cord blood was collected at birth and used to successfully treat his sick brother Charlie - a proven medical technology but MPs must decide if it’s ethical.
