Sounds good but likely nothing will come of it!
The only thing holding biology and its thousand medical fields is its self imposed ethical restrictions! We can genetically modify rats to have or not to have genetical diseases; we can make them bigger, stronger, live longer… We can make them fucking glow in the dark! But by being in the same class, we are very very very different animals! The large majority if invented medicines will go nowhere as they are almost exclusively tested on rats until the finished product is tried to be licensed…
Not to be misunderstood, I don’t want thousands of baby girls to die in testicular cancer! Nor do I know of a better way, I am just mildly annoyed at the holdback in holding up our duty to humanity
Maybe funding illegal human experiments for longevity on a container ship in international waters is Elon Musk‘s next project.
What I find disturbing about his brain chips is the lack of news… I would think the guy that bought a social media site, then virtually forced all its users to follow him would brag that he found his cock on the research site… But nothing? I reckon something went awry!
If some collossal fuckup were to happen/ happened that would bankrupt the whole field for decades!
The rumours suggest China is harvesting organs from uighar prisoners. What's to stop them from using them to test various chemicals?
International backlash if they wanna use the data as the entirety of its research must be made available to the peers, you can’t forge 1000-s of case studies! Could be done retroactively, but that would add 5-10y down the line
Also do you know how insanely expensive organs are? I really don’t think those are used for research
