artwork meaning and image
In popular usage, a chimera means something deliberately created with a combination of human and animal [[cell]]s. Such combination is often opposed on [[religious]] and [[ethical]] grounds. Some [[Catholic]] bishops have argued that such [[embryo]]s should not be created but should be brought to term if created in contrast to proposed legislation in [[Great Britain]] which would allow both the creation of chimeras and outlaw the implantation of a chimera once created.<ref>http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2007/06/uk-catholic-bis.html</ref><ref>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/06/26/nchimera126.xml</ref>

This term is also used in reference to artwork which combines multiple animals. For example, a tiger body might be combined with a dog's head, and a lion's tail. Although there have been a variety of methods for producing this kind of art, modern chimera art is usually produced digitally. Software such as [[Paint.NET]] or [[Adobe Photoshop]] is usually used to blend the edges and clone sections to make such artwork convincing.
