The cells form the basic building blocks of the body and are expected
to pave the way for revolutionary therapies for diseases such
as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and even spinal cord injuries

And if it's as successful as Embryonic stem cell research
(so far)...could be funded by display of the work-product at
some carnival freakshow.

Yes, I'm being a bit flippant.
Research on Embryonic stem cells and these hybrids may yet
yield cures for all sorts of human maladies.

But I'll still be (at the least) a bit bothered by the freak-show
(Frankenstein) aspect of the work.

Feel free to call me "old school".

I notice they make reference to “ethicists.” They are there to make it appear that someone cares about “ethics,” and to promote the pretense that the ethical questions are “complex.”
