I don't see a real difference between using cybrids that have 100% human DNA vs using any other human embryo for this type of research. If there is a difference, say the stem cells produced are somehow not quite human, this would alter my thought on this considerably, and I would especially be horrified at such cybrid research in particular. I wonder what PETA's take is on all of this?
I personally would have no involvement in such endeavors. Adult stem cells, present in most if not all specialized organs, have evolved as cells for repair. That is their purpose, and they successfully achieve this in many ways. That is a line of research I can endorse. It seems to me that while embryonic stem cell research has been ongoing for some time,
inducible pluripotent stem cell research is only beginning to be explored. Why not embrace this newer technology?
