In April, researchers at the Salk Institute created a human-monkey chimeric embryo in China by injecting human stem cells into embryos from long-tailed macaques. The human cells survived within the monkey embryo and generated additional cells. 4/6 https://t.co/bx4Znuy6dT — 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

Acting on the significant ethical concerns and ramifications such animal-human hybrid research has for the sanctity of human life, I believe it should be against the law to create a prohibited human-animal chimera, transfer a human embryo into a nonhuman womb, or vice versa. 5/6 — PolitiTweet.org
