Bill > S751

This bill, the Human-Animal Chimera Prohibition Act of 2023, aims to amend Title 18 of the United States Code to prohibit certain types of human-animal chimeras. It defines a "prohibited human-animal chimera" as various forms of hybrid organisms, including human embryos with non-human cells, human-animal embryos produced through fertilization, embryos containing both human and non-human chromosomes, and non-human organisms engineered to contain human brain tissue or resemble human features. The bill makes it unlawful to create, transfer, or transport these prohibited chimeras, with penalties of up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $1 million or twice the amount of any resulting financial gain. However, the bill does not prohibit research involving the use of transgenic animal models containing human genes or the transplantation of human organs, tissues, or cells into animals.
