A pair of senators have written a bill that would criminalize human-animal hybrids. The bill references the potential of hybrids to blur what it means to be a human as well what it means to be a male, female, parent, child and even what it means to be an individual. However in attempting to protect us from vague terminology the bill also outlaws scientific use of research chimeras which show promise in improving the fields of organ transplant, drug testing and disease study. Not to mention criminalizing the very existence of every American werewolf, bigfoot, mermaid and minotaur alike.

Check out the bill here and the Wired article here.
