"Lab-Created 'Humanzee' Euthanized Shortly After Birth"

In the 1920s, scientists in Florida successfully created a 'humanzee' by inseminating a female chimpanzee with human sperm, resulting in a live birth. The hybrid was euthanized shortly after due to ethical concerns. This controversial experiment highlights ongoing debates about the moral implications of creating human-animal hybrids, which some scientists believe could advance organ transplant research.
