Bill > S1800

This bill, the Human-Animal Chimera Prohibition Act of 2021, amends Title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit the creation or transfer of certain types of human-animal chimeras. It defines "prohibited human-animal chimeras" as embryos or organisms that mix human and non-human cells in various ways, such as introducing non-human cells into a human embryo or creating an embryo with both human and non-human chromosomes. The bill establishes criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for violating these prohibitions, but allows for research involving the use of transgenic animal models containing human genes or the transplantation of human organs, tissues, or cells into animals, as long as such activities are not prohibited under the bill's provisions.
