# Human-Animal Clones Brits Advocate Scientific Testing By Ben Preiss | Published 2007-06-18 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-animal-clones-should-be-allowed-for-scientific-testing References: [news.yahoo](http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070617/sc_nm/stemcells_chimeras_dc_ylt=Am_YHABaPCIT5PkqXgghPdMbr7sF) The need for human-animal clones was reached by expert British scientists in a recently released report. Apparently there are no laws against making [human-animal embryos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genome-sequencing), yet (how did the Bush administration miss this?), in the US and Britain. The scientists responsibly suggest that none of these embryos should be implanted in either a woman or an animal. **Implications** - It seems we're heading closer and closer to being able to make real-life centaurs, minotaurs and mermaids. Although there is the possibility for creating [human-animal hybrid embryos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biohybrid), it is very unlikely that any inter-species creature would be cleared for growth. If mad scientists existed in real life, they would most likely be all over this. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Bizarre](https://www.trendhunter.com/bizarre) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Human-animal Clones:** Creating human-animal hybrid embryos is an emerging trend with potential for disruptive innovation in the field of genetic engineering. - **Scientific Testing:** The need for human-animal clones has opened up opportunities for advancements in scientific testing methods. - **Ethical Concerns:** The ethical and legal implications surrounding human-animal clones have sparked debates and discussions in various industries. ### Where This Applies - **Genetic Engineering:** The field of genetic engineering can leverage the trend of human-animal clones to explore new possibilities in healthcare, agriculture, and other sectors. - **Biotechnology:** The biotechnology industry can utilize the advancements in scientific testing and cloning to develop innovative solutions for various applications. - **Regulatory and Legal:** The emerging trend of human-animal clones presents a need for regulatory and legal frameworks to address the ethical considerations and ensure responsible research and development. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lab-Grown Reproductive Biology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/testis-organoids.md) - [Cultivated Ice Age Meatballs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mammoth-meatballs.md) - [Hybrid Meat Vegetable Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leyu-li.md) - [AI-Generated Animal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-generator.md) - [Lab-Grown Pet Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chick-bites.md) - [Cultivated Dog Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cultivated-dog-treats.md) - [AI Conversation Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clones.md) - [Immersive Holographic Zoos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hologram-zoo.md) - [Musculoskeletal Robot Dogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-dog-design.md)
