Poll: Hybrid Embryos in Scientific Research?

Posted on: May 19, 2008 3:03 PM, by Virginia Hughes

Monday night, the British Parliament voted on embryo science laws for the first time in nearly 20 years. After weeks of debate, the House of Commons voted 336 to 176 to reject a proposed ban on the use of human-animal hybrid embryos in scientific research.

Human-animal hybrids were first created in 2003, by Chinese scientists who fused human cells with rabbit eggs. In 2004, researchers in Minnesota created pigs with pig-human blood cells.

So far, this kind of research has been banned in Australia, Canada, France, Germany and Italy.

Do you agree with Parliament's decision?

Sorry to be a negative commenter but isn't it rather ridiculous to make people sign up for a newsletter just to see the results to a poll.

I second that, Gobaskof. It is web-wide common that results are available immediately following voting, and I sure as heck won't sign up for something just to see them.
