Recent advances in stem cells and gene engineering have paved the way for the generation
of interspecies chimeras, such as animals bearing an organ from another species. The …

Background The burgeoning field of biomedical research involving the mixture of human
and animal materials has attracted significant ethical controversy. Due to the many …

It may soon be possible to generate human organs inside of human-pig chimeras via a
process called interspecies blastocyst complementation. This paper discusses what …

Human‐animal chimeras—creatures composed of a mix of animal and human cells—have
come to play an important role in biomedical research, and they raise ethical questions. This …
