Senate Passes NIH Funding Bill Enabling Human-Animal Chimera Research

On June 9, the US Senate passed the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act (USICA), also known as the "Endless Frontier Act," by a vote of 68-32. The bill grants billions of dollars to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) but does not ban the use of aborted baby cells to create human-animal hybrid embryos. Since the NIH is expected to end its moratorium on this research, and American universities are already conducting it, some federal tax dollars could go directly to this disturbing research.

Indiana Sen. Mike Braun introduced an amendment to the bill that would have banned the creation of human-animal embryos, but it failed by a vote of 49-48.

The problem that this legislation creates is amplified by the fact that Biden has reversed Trump policies which blocked research using tissue harvested from elective abortions.

“Currently the National Institutes of Health does not do this research and we need to keep it that way,” Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) said, “Researchers who are attempting these horrific once-science-fiction experiments should focus on valuing the dignity of human life, not trying to genetically merge and manipulate humans and animals.”

If "The Endless Frontier Act" also passes the House of Representatives, billions of dollars will be available for NIH use in immoral experiments.
