Scientists in China claim to have created the worlds first human-monkey hybrid. The research team is actually from Spain, but they conducted their study in China to avoid regulations against this type of experimentation.
Last week, Japanese scientists made the shocking announcement that they were planning on creating human-rodent hybrid embryos for the purpose of growing organs for transplants.
However, it would seem that other researchers have already made some serious progress in creating human-animal hybrids, going so far as to create a human-monkey. These experiments are also seeking to develop ways of growing human organs for transplant.
