‘Chimeric’ monkey may open door for human cloning

‘Chimeric’ monkey may open door for human cloning: "A team of scientists in Oregon have announced the birth of a rare monkey, which they have termed the “chimeric monkey.”

Scientists at the Oregon National Primate Research Center created the chimera monkey, stitching together genetic material from six parents. By successfully implanting these genetically mixed rhesus monkey embryos into mothers, the scientists say that have now produced the first example in primates."
