By introducing human embryonic stem cells at the aural maturation stage 
of rabbit foetuses in utero, at 24-days gestation, a team at 'Cambridge 
Organ Network' produced six healthy kits.

"We choose rabbits because they breed so fast we'll have all the ears for 

human transplant that we need, helping countless accident victims and 

those born with defects", said professor Alid Loyas, the organisation's 

head scientist.
