Chimeras and Hybrids in comparative European and International Research - natural scientific, ethical, philosophical and legal aspects

Obiettivo

The objective of the proposed project is to develop a deeper and comprehensive understanding of the fundamental problems in the research on Chimeras and Hybrids by means of a European and International aligned exchange and a partnership of co-operation,di alogue and network with Scientists from the ranges of the natural sciences, ethics, philosophy and jurisprudence, as well as with External Agents from Society under the co-ordination of the IMGB. The new and partly still unconsidered problem complex of mix ing creatures and blending techniques of human being and animals is at the centre of attention in natural scientific, ethical, philosophical and legal analysis. The interdisciplinary and international analysis and examination of human being - animal Chimer a and Hybrid formations includes therefore fundamental and basic problem complexes in each research discipline, such as the creation possibilities and different kinds of characteristics of Chimeras and Hybrids, the production of hybrid ES-cells, the creati on and the use of transgenic animals, the open questions of potential therapies, the ethical and moral evaluation of this research complex, as well as the constitutional and legal aspects of human dignity, freedom of research and protection of animals.The realisation of the objective will be achieved by compiling concepts, proposals for research practices, recommendations and decision supports for decision makers,thus enabling a structural and enduring interrelation between rapid progress in scientific rese arch and basic legal, ethical and philosophical principles. By means of reports and different elements of dynamic interaction, through speeches and discussions on basic and specific problems in the framework of Conferences and Workshops for compiling a fin al synthesis report, the proposal will bring Science and Society closer together and will also stimulate the development of emerging questions on Chimeras and Hybrids in the European Research Area.
