The U.S. wants to allow the crossing of genetic material between human and animal. Being, having the genetics of two different species are called chimeras.
Scientists at the National institutes of health approached the state government with the request to allow the scientific work on the creation of chimeras.
As the argument of his appeal, they predict, the created beings will be able to help in the modernization of diagnostics and treatment of rare diseases. Also, the chimeras can more quickly test drugs. But this is only the first steps. As the main purpose of scientific developments indicate the growing animal inside human bodies. In the initial stages it is assumed to mix human genetics with materials taken from goats, sheep and cows.
Crossing the genetic materials of man and primates is banned due to the similarity in their cells.
