Scientist Grow Mice in Artificial Womb
Scientists can now grow a mouse embryo up to half of its gestational cycle (the amount of time it spends in its mother’s womb) in a glass jar. They say they’d like to soon do this with human embryos as well. While this is an impressive accomplishment, one has to wonder if maybe they aren’t helping The Machines get a little closer to turning us all into coppertops.

What do you think? Is this a good line of research that will solve problems in medicine or food? Or is this a dangerous development that could really go wrong in the future? Use the comments to sound off. Is anyone you respect talking about this on- or offline?
that is terriffing
that is terrifying because humans could be next because the problem is are clones human? Do they count as people? if so what makes them better or worse than us? will they be enslaved because they were raised in a glass jar? A soul is kind of what makes you who you are if so will clones have one? will they be viewed as expendable because you can make a lot of them? what kind of atrocities would people commit because the clone was raised in a jar?
