Cloning for Needed Organs

Some scientists advocate creating human bodies for 'spare parts.' This is a moral abomination - LifeSite

People advocate for lots of things. Doesn't mean it will happen.

Leaving aside the fact that we can't do this, what's the big problem with it?

You might need a new brain; I think Igor picked yours out.

Won't ever happen since it will be much easier to just take someone's (skin?) cells and tweak them to grow into a liver. Exactly what happens in the womb.

Cloning for Needed Organs​

We have so many homeless… why bother cloning?

I read somewhere they were working on taking your own DNA and growing an organ that you body would accept without drugs because it will match

Oh come on.

That's just click bait.

We don't need humans for organs, we can grow organs in a petri dish.

We can already grow brain parts on silicon wafers, that technology is ten years old.

The technical term for synthetic organs is "organoids". You can Google on it.

Most of the homeless have destroyed any useful organs they may have.

They typically don’t break everything… you might need to mix and match.

I can tell you from personal experience if they drink themselves to death or do drugs, they kill the liver and the liver kills everything else. I spent 3 days in a coma when my liver failed due to non-alcoholic cirrhosis. Drugs (prescribed) shut down my digestive systems and nearly killed my kidneys. Right now, my new liver is perfect but it can't be used again. My other spare parts aren't worth a plug nickel to donate. The sad part is I am doing great and my doctor says I may live a long time.

Might?

I have never once claimed to be normal or average.

I'm ******* exceptional.

Is that what they’re calling it now?

Well shit. You are blisterfinger's sock.

Or he is yours.

Great minds …

 

[Crepitus]

Great minds …

Yeah, sure, kid. If you actually had one that might be believable.

It's also not practical.

You'd have to wait 18 years for the donor body to be big enough to harvest useable organs.

A much more likely scenario would be to use stem cells to fashion usable organs for the recipient.
