Scientists to create 'frankenbunny' in big research leap

Scientists are planning to create a "frankenrabbit" by fusing together human cells with a rabbit egg.
It is hoped the "chimeric" embryos, which would be 99.9 per cent human and 0.1 per cent rabbit, could lead to breakthroughs in stem cell research which could one day cure diseases such as Alzheimer's or spinal cord injury.
The embryos will allow scientists to perfect stem cell creation techniques without using human eggs.
"If we learn how to do this with animal eggs, we should be able to have more success with human eggs, and I'd much rather know that if we were going to ask women to donate eggs that we were very likely to get stem cells as a result," said Chris Shaw, at the Institute of Psychiatry. "We know this is a huge challenge after Dr Hwang in South Korea failed to get stem cells despite having 2,000 human eggs."
Teams in London, Edinburgh and Newcastle are to submit application to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority this month, requesting licences to create embryos that will be 99.9 per cent human and 0.1 per cent rabbit or cow.
The HFEA is encouraging the applications after legal advice. The embryos will be allowed to grow for only 14 days, at which point they will be cells smaller than a pinhead.

CIENTIFICOS CREARAN "CONEJO-FRANKENSTEIN"EN GRAN AVANCE DE INVESTIGACION
Cientificos estan planeando en crear un"conejo-frankenstein"fusionando celulas humanas con un ovulo de conejo.Se espera que estos"embriones quimericos",que serian 99.9% humanos y 0.1% conejo,conduciria a descubrimientos en la investigacion de celulas madre que algun dia curaran enfermedades como Alzheimer y dano en la medula espinal.Los embriones le ayudarian a los cientificos a perfeccionar tecnicas de creacion de celulas madres sin usar ovulos humanos."Si aprendemos como hacer esto con ovulos animales,seremos capaces de tener mas exito con ovulos humanos,y me gustaria mucho saber,si vamos a pedir a mujeres que donen ovulos,que es muy probable que vayamos a obtener como resultado celulas madre,"dijo Chris Shaw,del Instituto de Psiquiatria."sabemos que esto es un gran desafio,luego que el Dr.Hwang en Corea del Sur,fallo en obtener celulas madre,a pesar de tener 2000 ovulos humanos."Equipos en Londres,Edinburgh y Newcastle,van a entregar aplicaciones a la Autoridad de Embriologia y Fertilizacion Humana,este mes,solicitando licencias para crear embriones que seran 99.9% humanos y 0.1 % conejo o vaca.La HFEA esta alentando la entrega de aplicaciones luego de obtener consejo legal.Se dejara a los embriones vivir solo por 14 dias,al tiempo en que seran mas pequenas que la cabeza de un alfiler.
