Summary
The Human-Animal Chimera Prohibition Act of 2021 (S. 1800) proposes to ban the creation, transfer, or transportation of specific types of human-animal chimeras, which are organisms containing both human and nonhuman cells. The bill would make it a federal crime to attempt to grow human embryos in nonhuman wombs, or vice versa, and would establish strict civil and criminal penalties for violators. If passed, this legislation would set clear legal boundaries for biomedical research and fertility treatments, ensuring that certain cross-species genetic experiments remain prohibited under federal law.
