Senate Dems reject ban on certain types of human-animal hybrid experiments
Fox News
The Senate narrowly rejected an amendment Wednesday that would have criminalized the use of chimeras, or human-animal hybrids, in research.
Proposed this week, the Endless Frontier Act also contained language barring the transfer of a human embryo to a non-human womb and vice versa. "We shouldn't need to clarify in law that creating animal-human hybrids or ‘chimeras’ is ethically unthinkable, but sadly the need for that very clear distinction has arrived," said Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., who co-sponsored the bill with Sens. Mike Braun, R-Ind., and Steve Daines, R-Mont.More Related News
