We need to stop thinking of human bodies as anything more than machines, and we need to start growing them in labs.
Conscious humans are obviously special. But if we grew non-thinking bodies and used them for research, we could vastly accelerate medical science, research and development, and treatments. We could accomplish this with gene knockouts.
It's too "icky" for people, so it hasn't been done.
