This undated photo provided by the Salk Institute on Jan. 24, 2017 shows the injection of human stem cells into a pig blastocyst. A laser beam, indicated by a green circle with a red cross inside, was used to perforate the outer membrane to allow easy access for the needle. The experiment was a very early step toward the possibility of growing human organs inside animals for transplantation. (Salk Institute via AP)
