bodyoids may be the key to extending human lifespan
beyond perfectly-matched replacement organs and tissues whenever you need them, imagine replacing everything all at once, instead of piece by piece
a head or brain transplant onto a brand new body, a clone of yourself, when your current body can no longer be repaired
scientists have both successfully cloned primates and performed head transplants on primates
in fact, the reason the primate died 9 days after the head transplant, in the 1970s, was due to the body rejecting the head - something a clone bodyoid would solve
arpa-h recently launched a program called front with hundreds of millions of dollars working on progressive replacement of the brain, the one piece we of course cannot swap out entirely
at hydradao we now have rats, rabbits, and even pigs walking days after complete transection of the spinal cord, ensuring a head transplant would not lead to quadriplegia
pieces of the puzzle are coming together to form a path towards radical life extension that doesn't require us to solve the mysteries of aging
bodyoids are at the center of it all
@neilwa@kaimicahmills In that case the only difference is they still "feel" pain physically with a brain present even though it's unresponsive. Nociceptors still respond to the stimuli and the brain reacts to those
@Aiden31236644@inkysputter@IntractableLion Calling it man-made horrors is automatically putting a title onto something we've yet to do or see at that scale. The clause is really as simple as "we should make factory farm animals not have to suffer" and without the over the top visual given, you just see a pig
Would you like to live in a cell the size of yourself until you're eaten? No? Even when stupid, they still experience that. Better to make them experience as much as an ear of corn if we're going to treat them like that. Pigs will still exist as normal, we will just have these to keep up with the demand for food
@Justinredalen@3mk4y_@kaimicahmills Roughly 74% of farmed meat is like this. It's not just a separated into pens thing, it's a locked in cells with 0 mobility thing.
Human is a much harder pill to swallow but ultimately a much more beneficial one. Massive health benefits in research, longevity, organ banking, etc. Cloning and organ printing is already making progress, this just makes an easier and more ethical version of cloning that still gives you almost all of the essentials. Unfortunately no perfect cure for the brain being damaged yet but we're working on progressive replacement methods to fix that too.
@SethBRKV@kaimicahmills Lolol I know. Organ Sac is more of an inside joke for them atp. Bodyoid is the more real answer so far, I'd have to check the list for the others but nothing bites just right yet
