Researchers at the University of California, Davis are looking to create human-animal hybrid embryos known as chimeras, which they believe could serve as better animal models for studies on how people develop diseases and how these illnesses progress.
In Greek mythology, the chimera was a monstrous creature that was created using parts of different animals such as a lion, a goat and a snake.
A chimera in genetics, on the other hand, is a single organism produced through the combination of cells from different zygotes, or fertilized eggs.
God does not exist. Scientists do exist, they can do whatever they want as long as they're not putting other humans in danger. This won't be a person, it'll be treated as an experiment.
