Emory Professor Says Jewish Law Supports The Creation Of Human-Animal Chimeras, Genetically Engineered Humans, Cloning
Genetic engineering (GE), in which the traits of different individuals, or animals, are combined, already has resulted in amazing combinations, such as the Mayo Clinic’s recent development: bioluminescent cats marked with glowing jellyfish genes. Jewish law would support similar intentional human-human chimerism, in which the embryonic material of two fetuses is mixed, or human-animal chimerism, in which the cells of a human are mixed with cells of another mammal, for the purpose of curing a disease in the human, and reproductive xenotransplant, which involves placing a fertilized embryo of one species into the uterus of another species. While parental genetic choices should always be limited by the “best interest of the child,” he says, processes and technologies that result in healthy, or healthier, children are intrinsically good and should be embraced, not feared.
