"Manimals": The Next Frontier In Scientific Research?
The Obama Administration is proposing tax funds for researchers to create half-animal, half-human beings for experimentation.
The federal government's National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a proposed change in the ethical limits of federally funded research, allowing animal/human "cross-species," called "chimera" research.
By injecting animal embryos with human stem cells, scientists can create "chimera" hybrids, which can then be used to learn more about human illnesses.
