Is it Moral to Create Chimeras?
Activist Jeremy Rifkin thinks animals have the right to exist without being crossed with another species, and says scientists "have now gone over the edge." Ethicist David Magnus worries about how chimeras will be used. One example he gives is that mice can be bioengineered to produced both human sperm and eggs, meaning that a human embryo could be created that would have as his parents—two mice.Mover Mike
Last year Canada passed a law banning the creation of chimeras, but biologist Irv Weissman doesn't think we should pass such a law here because it would be "stopping research that would save human lives." He plans to create mice with human brains.
Oh, Honey!

Apparently that picture has been taken down so let's use this one. It is interesting that now I can't find that particular picture on the net. It was striking to me. I had not seen Sen Clinton look so bad. And now the picture is gone. Hmmm!
