Second nature

Scientists in the US have produced 3 rhesus monkeys by combining cells from different embryos and implanting them into female monkeys.

The 3 monkeys, named Chimero, Roku and Hex, were born normal and healthy.

Scientists hail this as an important advancement that could lead to breakthroughs in medical science.

However, some are concerned about the ethical issues that may arise – including genetic manipulation of ourselves. In the end, any technology can be used for good or for bad.

While it’s true humans have shown a propensity for evil, we believe it’s also in our nature to want to do the right thing.
