the British authorities intend to give this week the green light to the project to grow human organs in animals and their subsequent transplantation to those in need of a new heart, kidneys and liver. It is assumed that the donor organ will not be rejected by the recipient's body because they contain human genetic material.

About 50 sheep and pigs already got Chimera embryos, which will become sources of organs for transplantation. By this time, such experiments were not conducted in the UK, but occurred in some other countries. The British government will release a document containing rules on the use of technology on the cultivation of chimeras and bodies in them.

animal Advocates are against the initiative and has called the creation of genetically modified animals is cruel.

To create chimeras, scientists remove genes from embryos of the same organ, replacing them with human stem cells. Then the embryo is placed in the womb of a pig or sheep, and being born is a carrier of the human body. No such Chimera is officially on light did not appear.
