This startup wants to copy you into an embryo for organ harvesting

In a search for novel forms of longevity medicine, a biotech company based in Israel says it intends to create embryo-stage versions of people in order to harvest tissues for use in transplant treatments.

The company, Renewal Bio, is pursuing recent advances in stem-cell technology and artificial wombs demonstrated by Jacob Hanna, a biologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot. Earlier this week, Hanna showed that starting with mouse stem cells, his lab could form highly realistic-looking mouse embryos and keep them growing in a mechanical womb for several days until they developed beating hearts, flowing blood, and cranial folds.

It’s the first time such an advanced embryo has been mimicked without sperm, eggs, or even a uterus. Hanna’s report was published in the journal Cell on Monday.

“This experiment has huge implications,” says Bernard Siegel, a patient advocate and founder of the World Stem Cell Summit. “One wonders what mammal could be next in line.”

This is profound but disturbing. I'm sure there have been movies containing something similar in them. However, if this company can clone Jim Robinson, the whole Jim, not just an embryo Jim, then I say BALLS TO THE WALL!

Messing with God’s creation and Will . . . not a good thing.

profoundly disturbing, and yes there was a movie about evil like this. I think Scarlett Johansson was in it.

Copying organs is one thing but transplanting a brain into a grown body would be impossible. The brain stem is complex in nature and how would you keep a brainless body alive awaiting the transplant? How would it breathe and what controls heartbeat? The network of nerves, hormone producing organs and even the eyes are too complex to build and fabricate into a body awaiting a brain.

Can our brain be duplicated? Good question. If our brain is like a hard drive processing information at very high speeds, that would be an engineering feat involving memory transferal and I don't know anybody that knows how to do that.

Forty years ago I wanted to write a story called Universal Donor.

Doctors would generate anencephalic cloned or universal donor embryos; poor women would be paid to carry the fetuses to term, the doctors would harvest the organs, no scruples, just saving lives. But what if a woman became attached to the doomed child?

I couldn’t make myself write it but the brave new world is doing that.

“In a search for novel forms of longevity...”

How long before Ar-Biden assembles a fleet to attack the Undying Lands?

They want to turn us all into genetically modified tranny pedophile cyborgs who eat bugs.

The show from Almighty God is about to begin. These people in our govt and elsewhere have run out of time to repent. A major shaking is coming and people will know the fear of God.

The descent to moral depravity has accelerated so fast He will bring a major correction. It’s coming.

Aside from possible great things medically the chance that this will be used for evil is too easy.

Of all the people in the world who know how this can be used for evil it’s the Hebrews and yet here we are. And to think the most jabbed in the world is Israel.

Are you saying our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made?

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

your works are wonderful,

I know that full well.” Psalm 139:14

How dare you!

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

That is slavery.

In fact that is worse then slavery, that is cannibalism.
