Japanese scientists scratch man with animals

Japanese scientist Hiromitsu Nakauti studying stem cells, got state support for the crossing of human and animal embryos. The ultimate goal of the experiment - the creation of animals with organs that can be transplanted into humans.

Hiromitsu Nakauti has already announced that he would not rush to the crossing of species. He plans to gradually grow human cells in the embryos of mice and rats. It takes 14.5 and 15.5 days, respectively. Subsequently, these cells will be transplanted into a surrogate animal for observation and study.

It is important to act gradually and very carefully, maintaining a dialogue with the public concern.

It is important to note that attempts embryos crosses made before, but bring them up to the moment of birth has been prohibited. Now scientists have received the green light.

In theory, these experiments will help grow human organs that can be transplanted to people. It will eliminate the need to search for a donor and to wait for their turn to transplantation in the case of threat to life.

But some scientists are concerned that such experiments can easily go beyond the development of the desired organ. And this is the danger of uncontrolled emergence of new species.
