Scientists Want to Grow Unconscious Human Bodies for Organ Harvesting

[alien_head]

The idea of ​​growing artificial body parts and organs is not new and is used in many areas of medicine. However, scientists have recently announced their desire to advance this field by growing entire human-like bodies without a brain.

In search of a solution to the acute shortage of human organs for transplantation and research, scientists are looking for unusual solutions that could challenge conventional wisdom and moral norms.

In a recent scientific paper, they discussed the concept of creating “bodyoids” — lab-grown human bodies created from pluripotent stem cells. These creatures would be designed in such a way that they would not have consciousness or the ability to feel pain, the study promises, writes Popular Mechanics.

Pluripotent stem cells have the remarkable ability to differentiate into any cell type in the human body. Advances in stem cell research have allowed scientists to mimic the early stages of human embryonic development, and advances in artificial womb technology have expanded the possibilities for developing human tissue outside the body, according to their discussion in MIT Technology Review. https://anomalien.com/scientists-want-t ... arvesting/
