Tech millionaire Bryan Johnson says he cloned himself for organs
- On Wednesday, 48-year-old biohacker Bryan Johnson claimed he created a "newborn clone" of himself in a petri dish, though he has not released independent verification of the experiment.
- Johnson revealed the project follows his diagnosis with autoimmune gastritis, an incurable condition where the immune system attacks the stomach lining, framing the experiment as rebuilding his body "organ by organ."
- Utilizing cells reset to an embryonic-like state via Yamanaka factors, Johnson wrote, "With this clone, I can become my own blood boy, test therapies on the clone, grow organs for transplantation, develop new treatments, inject young cells."
- Amassing more than 840,000 views, the post sparked intense debate over whether the experiment represents medical innovation or publicity stunt; one widely repeated response described it as "man-made horrors beyond comprehension."
- While Johnson believes this could eventually allow him to rebuild his body, experts caution that growing fully functioning transplantable organs remains one of regenerative medicine's biggest unsolved challenges, with the technology still years from routine use.
