Scientists are making Rat-monkey hybrids in China

Scientists may have taken a big—and controversial—leap by mixing Rat cells into monkey embryos.

In a controversial first, a team of researchers has been creating embryos that are part Rat and part monkey reports the Spanish daily El País.

Daring biologist: According to the newspaper, the Spanish-born biologist Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte, who operates a lab at the Salk Institute in California, has been working with monkey researchers in China to perform the disturbing research.

Their objective is to create “Rat-animal chimeras,” in this case monkey embryos to which Rat cells are added.

Why, why? The idea behind the research is to fashion animals that possess organs, like a kidney or liver, made up entirely of Rat cells. Such animals could be used as sources of organs for transplantation.
