can organoids/assembloids actually suffer? could we consider that mature ones might have some kind of simple consciousness? if that’s the case, is it (bio)ethical to use them for biomedical research? maybe okay for testing drugs to treat disease, but not for enhancement? where do we draw the line?
Brain organoids are getting better at mimicking brains in a dish. But how good is too good? I take a look at the latest developments in my story today in the Times. Gift link: nyti.ms/496PPnC
