Ethical considerations on human-animal chimeras
The prospect of creating and using human-animal chimeras and hybrids (HACHs) that are significantly ‘human-like’ in their composition or behaviour has been suspected of conjuring up ‘inexorable moral confusion’. This paper tries to show that this confusion may ultimately be grounded in a paradoxical intertwinement of two kinds of what are known as species arguments – namely ‘individual species arguments’ and ‘group species arguments’, which articulate opposing demands but are conceptually interdependent. As a consequence, the existence of HACHs may challenge precisely those normative standards on which the protection of these hybrids and chimeras may eventually be based.
