First Mixed-Embryo Monkey Born

January 9, 2012 | ISSUE 48•02

Scientists reported in the journal Cell the first successful birth of a monkey composed of stem cells from six different monkey embryos. What do you think?

No one should play God with monkeys. Unless it is Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god. He gets a pass.

Wow, that's amazing. Imagine having the hat-stealing abilities of six monkeys!

I love how suddenly the successful birth of a monkey with stem cells from only five different monkey embryos isn't a big deal anymore. Now I'm yesterday's news, Cell?
