As biological research races forward, ethical quandaries are piling up. In a report published Tuesday in the journal eLife, researchers at Harvard Medical School said it was time to ponder a startling new prospect: synthetic embryos.
In recent years, scientists have moved beyond in vitro fertilization. They are starting to assemble stem cells that can organize themselves into embryolike structures.
Soon, experts predict, they will learn how to engineer these cells into new kinds of tissues and organs. Eventually, they may take on features of a mature human being.
In the report, John D. Aach and his colleagues explored the ethics of creating what they call “synthetic human entities with embryolike features” — Sheefs, for short. For now, the most advanced Sheefs are very simple assemblies of cells.
But in the future, they may develop into far more complex forms, the researchers said, such as a beating human heart connected to a rudimentary brain, all created from stem cells. Such a Sheef might reveal important clues about how nerves control heartbeats.

That thing is hung bro

It looks like Pepe.

We could grow whatever ancestor we want then. Neanderthal, those hobbits, etc
Austin Gonzalez
Me on the right
Jack Jenkins
This is terrible. None of us neets are going to take advantage of this.
Instead, Saudis will breed artificially white loli sex slaves, and single female SJWs with fat pensions will breed little boys and feed them estrogen from day 1/
Matthew Bailey
No that's the same as adoption
Camden Fisher
This can't go badly at all. Fuck abortion though!
Adam Rivera
I can see a big problem of parents, most likely mothers, feeling almost no connection to the kid. It may be related to you as close as possible but they won't feel an actual connection, which is a big part of motherhood.

WOMEN BTFO HOW CAN GIRLS EVEN COMPETE

>feeling almost no connection to the kid.
Those "instincts" only last the first few years anyway and aren't present to begin with half the time.

I'm not a Jew, but you sure are a massive supplicating memelord pussy.
Hudson Morales
good, women will soon be genocided off due to being useless right?
Easton Morgan
I would clone myself with a double X.
I'd also clone myself regular style but use growth hormones to make mini-me not a manlet.
Matthew Cook
let me get this straight. they want to abort babies made naturally and create these things for faggots out of them? ya sounda about right for the liberal agenda. literally grid up straight couples babies and turn them into gay babies.
Xavier Brown
That's the endgame actually
Cameron Phillips
>gay couples
Eli Williams
Don't they need them to harvest the cells?
Jose Wood
only if we actually use them as slaves though
Xavier Foster
>That's my fetish actually >mfw
Joshua Brooks
>Synthetic It's a little misleading word if you dont read into it a bit more. I only means that the baby was made by human hands and not "naturally". It still might get to pretend that it's humans unless we rule out clones as non humans. And this is definitely close to being clone tier.
Jace Parker
Good, they will live natural humans alone then
Cameron Watson
We get closer to the WH40K timeline every day
Carson Jackson
>more people why don't they clone more food?
Jordan Bailey
Stem cells actually. Not even eggs. One could say we can get those from corpses, but corpses will make better fuel to replace coal.
>pic related in our lifetimes I'm born at the right time it seems
Charles Morales
>Implying we can't clone food when we can clone people Really? Besides
