While the National Institutes of Health (NIH) does not currently fund this research directly, chimera research programs continue in local universities as exhibited by last year’s creation of a mouse embryo with 4% human cells in New York. 2/6 https://t.co/l21SZKAMiW — PolitiTweet.org

Last night my amendment with @SteveDaines and @SenatorLankford to ban animal-human hybrid "chimera" research received a vote on the Senate floor. It sounds like science fiction, but in recent years animal-human hybrid research has become more common. 1/6 https://t.co/2sq8J0wOgO — PolitiTweet.org

In 2016, the NIH considered lifting their ban on experimentation involving human stem cells in animal embryos. Though the NIH has not to date lifted that moratorium, chimeric research has continued to advance in private research settings. 3/6 https://t.co/8zQvb79JQw — PolitiTweet.org
