So here we sit. Ethical or not? People that know me know my answer.
Don’t know why the link comes up as Define Me, but it is a link to their research study.
Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte at the Salk Institute in California and his colleagues have produced what are known as human-monkey chimeras, with human stem cells – special cells that have the ability to develop into many different cell types – inserted in macaque embryos in petri dishes in the lab.

Chimeric contribution of human extended pluripotent stem cells to monkey embryos ex vivo
Human cells, in the form of extended pluripotent stem cells, have the ability to contribute to both embryonic and extra-embryonic lineages in ex-vivo-cultured monkey embryos.

Human cells grown in monkey embryos raise ethical concerns
Human-monkey chimeras produced by implanting human stem cells in macaque embryos could be used to study how cells develop, but some ethicists have raised concerns

Scientists Create Early Embryos That Are Part Human, Part Monkey
An international team has put human cells into monkey embryos in hopes of finding new ways to produce organs for transplantation. But some ethicists still worry about how such research could go wrong.
