I was fascinated by Organoids for a while a few years back. Mainly because there was a discussion with an entity, I had no idea about, that dealt with the ethics of such implementation. On top of that I was sick in my stomach after playing SOMA. I could not bare the idea of producing a brain, and have some sort entity live in the constraints of 'that' universe alone... I guess if I think long enough I still feel the same anxiety.
Hank Greely [0] has got some fabulous papers on this:
Should Cerebral Organoids be Used for Research if they Have the Capacity for Consciousness?
