Recently, scientists have made breakthroughs in the creation of human-animal hybrids known as chimeras, (ky-MEER’-ehz), or a mix of human cells with an animal host. Nature.com explained, “To create chimeras, scientists generally inject pluripotent stem cells — which can become any type of organ — from one species into the early embryo of a second species.” According … Continue reading Chimeras become a reality in disturbing new human-animal hybrid research
