The history of science provides numerous examples of the way in which imagination, religion and mythology have sometimes helped and sometimes hindered scientific progress. While established ideas and beliefs clearly held back the discoveries of Copernicus, Galileo and Darwin, the intuitive knowledge found in mythology, art and religion has often proved useful in indicating new ways in which to explore or represent new knowledge of the world. Stories, fables and images have contributed to draw...

"The idea of human-nonhuman combinations has been a recurrent theme throughout the history of humanity. From the myths of the Minotaur and the centaurs in ancient Greece to the dogheads of the Middle Ages right through to the monsters of modern science fiction, these beings have always been a source of fascination. In recent years, however, biomedical advances have demonstrated the potential to make these entities a reality through the creation of inter-species combinations. As a result, pressing and perplexing ethical questions arise. Introducing the reader to the historical context of human-nonhuman experimentation and potential future developments, this volume offers clarification, analysis and a thorough overview of the ethical challenges relating to human-nonhuman chimeras, true hybrids, cybrids and other combinations. This book is the first accessible survey of the different ethical dilemmas facing contemporary society in the creation of human-nonhuman embryonic, foetal and postnatal entities. These include important cultural, legal, philosophical and religious perspectives. As such it will act as a springboard for future debate."--P. 4 of cover.

This text provides a comprehensive, up-to-date review of chimerism. The first part of the volume presents the causes of chimerism, specifically focusing on fertilization and early embryonic errors, pregnancy and multiple gestations, and transplantation and transfusion. The second part of the volume outlines clinical identification and consequences of chimerism. Chapters in this section focus on the effects of chimerism on testing in relationship determination and forensics, prenatal genetic testing and screening, and blood and HLA typing. This part also reviews new data concerning matching donors and recipients for transplantation, while outlining the risks of transplantation, such as graft-vs-host disease and passenger lymphocyte syndrome. Additionally, evidence on the role of chimerism in autoimmune disease and cancer is presented. Written by experts in the field, Chimerism: A Clinical Guide is a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers that will help guide patient management and stimulate investigative efforts.

"À l'époque médiévale, la littérature, l'art et la science enjambaient la distance qui sépare l'humain et le non-humain au moyen d'une pléthore d'hybrides, dont l'identité était marquée par l'ambivalence. Les monstres anthropomorphes hérités de l'Antiquité ou du folklore, les peuples exotiques censés avoir des traits animaux ou végétaux, les animaux ou les plantes portant des ressemblances inquiétantes avec les hommes, les figures aux corps mixtes qui occupaient les marges des manuscrits : autant de créations qui dessinaient une constellation de possibilités dans un continuum des êtres. Ce volume rassemble les huit contributions de spécialistes de littérature et d'histoire de l'art au sujet de l'hybridation entre homme et animal dans la culture médiévale, ainsi que la transcription de la table ronde conclusive du colloque de Louvain-la-Neuve. La variété d'angulations disciplinaires garantit l'exploration de différentes facettes du rapport aux hybridations dans les cultures du Moyen Âge : de l'utilisation des hybrides dans l'iconographie des manuscrits hébreux (Andràs Borgô) aux hybrides dans les sceaux de Flandre (Clémence Gauche, Nantes) ; des défis de la représentation visuelle des hybrides dans les manuscrits des romans en moyen français (Christine Ferlampin-Acher, Rennes) aux hybridations introduites dans l'illustration d'un texte hagiographique (Miranda Griffin, Cambridge) ; des transformations des hybrides hérités de l'Antiquité dans les versions d'un texte en ancien français (Jessy Simonini, Paris) à la progressive normalisation de ces hybrides entre texte et image tout au long du Moyen Âge central (Jacqueline Leclercq-Marx, Bruxelles) ; des créatures presque humaines dans la littérature scientifique de tradition aristotélicienne et les textes de voyage arabes (Grégory Clesse et Florence Ninitte, Cologne et Louvain-la-Neuve) aux hybridations animales et technologiques d'un roman en moyen français (Antonella Sciancalepore, Louvain-la-Neuve). Le dialogue entre les différentes approches rassemblées - dont une actualisation vivace est représentée par la table ronde conclusive (dirigée par Cristina Noacco, Toulouse) - vise à offrir une considération nouvelle des hybrides au Moyen Âge, en tant que méditations autour d'un concept de l'identité humaine ouverte à l'animal, au végétal et même au technologique."--Page 4 of cover.
