The Chimera Project

I am writing a semi-popular book on the topic of creating new part-human organisms in stem cell biology and nanotechnology.

 

The book covers a range of topics, from the scientific justifications for creating part-human organisms through the range of moral objections (both secular and religious) that have been raised, with a brief foray into science policy.

 

During the Fall of 2005, the project had two undergraduate research fellows, Ramin Sadeghi and Arielle Silverman, working through the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict.
