The transplantation of mature human neural stem cells to prenatal non-humans provides an alternative method of researching human neural cell development that does not need the use of human embryonic stem cells directly. Although such studies raise significant ethical issues about combining human and nonhuman elements in ways that may result in the creation of human-nonhuman chimaeras, they do not pose a significant threat to human life. There are four reasons against such study, which are examined in this article. They include the moral taboo, species integrity, "unnaturalness," and human dignity arguments. The last of these arguments is found to be credible. Under the conditions of dissociation, the transfer of human brain or retinal stem cells to nonhuman embryos would not result in the formation of human-nonhuman chimaeras that degrade human dignity, according to the authors. The article offers recommendations for doing such research that are consistent with the needs of human dignity while still adhering to ethical norms.
