Hybrid organs raise prospect of fully human body parts being grown inside animals for transplants
You're viewing part of a thread.
On industrial farms there is zero quality of life so it's not exactly a high bar...
How are we getting these organs out? Killing them and then removing them? Or are we going to grow clusters and cut them out when needed?
It sounds like a dystopian nightmare to me.
They perform exactly the same function in the animals as they do for us, so they grow in the same location. Yes the animals would be butchered in the removal process. Why is that any more dystopian than killing them at a butcher?
I think both show a fundamental lack of empathy for any living thing other than humans.
So essentially no worse than the factory farms of today, you admit. Except, this one actually saves lives.
Factory farms are also an aberration and a crime against sentient beings. This just adds a dollop more "cruel and unusual" and it's not saving lives it's torturing and sacrificing one feeling, thinking, and intelligent life so a human can live another 5 years.
