Are we ready for more-human animals?
Hank Greely and Francoise Baylis join us to talk about the ethics of creating animals that include human cells. Hank is a professor at the Stanford Law School, where he specializes in the legal implications of new biomedical technologies. He's also the lead author of a target article in the May 2007 AJOB Neuroscience looking at the ethical implications of proposed research that would create a mouse whose brain was constructed of human neurons. Francoise is a professor at Dalhousie University, where she founded the NovelTechEthics research team. And she also contributed an open peer commentary about the human neuron mouse to the May 2007 issue of AJOB.
