Embryo production of teratogens - Contrary ideas

The project of human embryo-cow embryo development by British scientists runs the risk of being canceled due to opposition from many officials in the British Government and the public.

Recently, Tony Blair's ministers proposed to reject the formidable project after it was criticized by public opinion. However, individual Prime Minister Tony Blair said that the new law, if enacted, needs to be flexible to support scientific research for human health.

He said there were difficulties in creating embryos with 99% of people and only a small part were animals. 'I believe that research will help save many lives and improve the quality of our own lives,' Blair said.

The creation of hybrid human and animal embryos was first proposed by British scientists to address the scarcity of human eggs, an important source of germplasm used in the study of the production of new drugs, especially drugs for neurological diseases like Parkingson, Alzheimer's, etc.

On this occasion, a public opinion poll was organized to conduct a revision of a UK law regarding reproductive treatment and embryonic research that many considered to be outdated. This country 's Embryo and Reproduction Act was enacted in 1990 and many scientific advances have been made in this area ever since.

Associate Professor Pham Thi Thuy, Member of Executive Board of Vietnam Biotechnology Association, is willing to give up a vote against ethics.'This research once again shows that biotechnology is going directly into human nature, affecting the future of humanity,' said Associate Professor Pham Thi Thuy.

'Although humans are also animals, it is different from all animals in a cultural, conscious place of the past, the future and, therefore, humans create the civilization as we see it' , Assoc. Dr. Thuy stressed.

However, Researcher Nguyen Phuc Giac Hai, the Vietnamese Potential Research Center, said: 'Because of the genetic differences, the embryo can be developed into a long time. object. Without such daring research, it is difficult to achieve breakthroughs for people themselves. '

Prof. Ha Dinh Duc, former lecturer of the Department of Biology, Hanoi University of Natural Sciences, suggested: 'To ensure their own survival, technological powers need to develop regulations on scientific ethics. , as a basis for considering scientific projects from a moral perspective '.
