- jaredcwhite 10y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, but the main concern regarding chimeras is related to interspersing human cells with another species' cells. This article is about interspersing cells with multiple humans' DNA. While fascinating information, I'm not sure how it informs the human-animal chimera discussion.
- throwanem 10y agoYou're not wrong, and it doesn't. This reads like a pretty weak attempt to soothe ethical concerns by citing cases of chimerism which occur in nature, but, as you point out, intraspecific chimerism isn't really germane to the matter at hand.
