This HFEA permission entails using animal eggs (in this case bovine eggs) with genetic material removed and DNA from humans implanted in them, and resulting in a human/animal hybrid embryo known as a chimera, considered 99 percent human. The chimeras are grown in the lab for about two weeks until they mature enough to be used as a source of stem cells.
