Hello,

Are there be any ethical issues involved in grafting non-human brain
cells to human brains in such a way as to replace dopamine producing
cells lost in PD, assuming that any possible animal to human virus
transmission can be prevented?  What if, as an improvement to this
process, the tissue to be transplanted had human genes added to it so
as to facilitate getting past the immune system without rejection?
