Animal-human hybrid

An animal-human hybrid, often called a chimera in biological terms, is an organism that contains genetic material from both a human and an animal. This can occur naturally, such as in early developmental stages, or artificially through scientific techniques like cell transplantation or genetic modification. These hybrids help researchers study disease, development, and potential treatments, but they raise ethical questions regarding their creation and use. It’s important to recognize that the term typically refers to experimental or theoretical biological constructs, not naturally occurring beings.
