    Testing on animals is morally questionable! Although I’m talking about cloning full systems, so they could still all be kept separate rather than just being a whole cloned body. You’d have one model that’s a clone of the entire digestive system, another that’s a clone of the nervous system, another that’s a clone of the circulatory system, and they’d be connected or disconnected from each other as needed.

    Also, yeah, I’m very aware this isn’t something we can do yet! That’s why I called it the next Human Genome project.

    Animal testing, beyond just being wrong, is a crutch and it’s holding us back.

      How exactly are you going to keep any of those alive without the others? I don’t think you’ve actually thought this through to be honest.

      Also how do you morally do tests on a human brain?
