Scientists Want to Grow Human Bodies For Testing And To Harvest For Parts

'Spare' human bodies to be grown in artificial wombs & can serve as 'MEAT'

CUTTING-EDGE scientists have unveiled a disturbing plan to grow soulless "spare" human bodies that can be used for medical experiments and even meat.T

Scientists Want to Grow Human Bodies For Testing And To Harvest For Parts

human bodies analysis Scientists say they want to starting growing human bodies, or “bodyoids,” to “reduce animal testing, improve drug development, and alleviate organ shortages.” Ethically-sourced human bodies, of course. “Why do we hear about medical breakthroughs in mice, but rarely see them translate into cures for human disease?” scientists from Stanford University asked in a recent article published in MIT Technology Review. “Why do so fe…

Progress in growing organoids gives hope that the time is not far off when it will be possible to produce whole human bodies. This would allow medical science to develop and alleviate the organ shortage in an increasingly ethically sensitive society, says Kristjan Port in R2's technical commentary.

The incessant search for solutions to the shortage of organs available for human transplants may well lead to an unprecedented but controversial proposal: to cultivate "alternative" human bodies, also called "bodyoids". These biological creations, resulting from the latest advances in stem cells, generate intense ethical debate. While [...]

Scientists Propose 'Bodyoids' To Address Medical Research and Organ Shortage Challenges

Stanford University researchers have proposed creating "bodyoids" -- ethically sourced human bodies grown from stem cells without neural components for consciousness or pain sensation -- to revolutionize medical research and address organ shortages. In a new opinion piece published in MIT Technology Review, scientists Carsten T. Charlesworth, Henry T. Greely, and Hiromitsu Nakauchi argue that recent advances in biotechnology make this concept in…
