Chimera

The ethics of stem-cell research--in particular the creation of cross-species "chimeras," the mixing of genetic material from humans and animals--is a hotly debated topic with political, scientific, moral, and spiritual dimensions. While such experiments could hold the key to curing many diseases, to their detractors they conjure up everything from visions of divine retribution to sci-fi nightmares from B-grade horror films. To explore this controversy, Lill created a chimera of her own: a hybrid play that's part Parliament Hill expose, part examination of the efforts to regulate genetic engineering. "Chimera "is just the kind of riveting issues-oriented drama Wendy Lill is known for.Lill, Wendy is the author of 'Chimera ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780889225695 and ISBN 0889225699.
