Cybrids
Another new term: "admixed embryos"...
"MPs back creation of human-animal embryos Mark Henderson and Francis Elliott The Times OnLine "The amendment to ban all admixed embryos was defeated by 336 votes to 176. The prohibition on true hybrids was defeated by 286 votes to 223. "The main kinds of admixed embryo permitted by the Bill are "cytoplasmic hybrids" or "cybrids", which are made by moving a human nucleus into an empty animal egg. These are genetically 99.9 per cent human. As well as true hybrids, it also allows chimeras that combine human and animal cells, and transgenic human embryos that include a little animal DNA. "The most immediate implication of the Commons vote will be to allow teams at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and King's College London, which already hold licences to create cybrids, to continue their research."
