I guess it is more a feeling that it'll start with a pancreas and then we'll figure out a way to make other organs, and maybe some human life after that. Perhap

I guess it is more a feeling that it'll start with a pancreas and then we'll figure out a way to make other organs, and maybe some human life after that. Perhaps it shouldn't concern me - if I would be fine with a pancreas or a kidney grown in an animal, why not (eventually) a human life in an animal? - but it is still a worry for me right now.
- ldp01 9y agoAre you suggesting humanity will create real life furries? I guess it's the sort of thing you can count on someone doing the moment it's possible...
- matte_black 9y agoIt would be amazing to generate entirely new organs that don’t exist, to give humans capabilities they never had. I’m all for it.
- Piskvorrr 9y agoBuilding hardware is the easy part. Making it play nice with the firmware (and, um, writing the firmware) is the hard part - we haven't been able to do that well with silicon, so far.
- shanusmagnus 9y agoI think your worries could more profitably be directed to the industrial farming complex as it exists right now.
- jessaustin 9y ago...why not (eventually) a human life in an animal? That's an interesting idea. If it's OK to hire humans as surrogates, why couldn't we create an animal to do the job? Especially if an animal with a wider pelvis (e.g. a small cow) were used, it could eventually be made safer than regular human pregnancy.
