This completely bypasses the revolution that will take place long before this: Organs on a chip. With the development of organoids [0] we made the first step. Things like the lung-on-a-chip [1] are steps towards a sort of mini body that mimics many functions and simulates the body not only in the molecular biological way but in the very important physical way (which, it turns out can not be decoupled from the molecular biology).
Why would we put mice in computer chips if we can have pseudo human bodies in the real world?
