I wish they had a forum for the weird and Unusual now folks we in live in an age where Sci-Fi seems not so much any more. So what if this is for real that another version of Soylent Green has come of age?
Genetically Modified Micro Humans’ to be ‘Farmed’ for Drug Testing by 2017
So is this what Embryo Stem Cell Research was up to?

What would if feel like if one was working on one of those things and it happen to look like a family member...
They label it as artificial humans, but how does one know for sure when we already know there does exist those who do not respect human life.

This could be used in place of animal testing, and to test other drugs and medicines that benefit humans. Also, what about growing a replacement kidney for someone who has kidney disease, or a heart for someone who has heart disease?
And what viable source did they get that from?
Human embryonic stem cells: research, ethics and policy http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/18/4/672.full
The use of human embryos for research on embryonic stem (ES) cells is .... medicine, where they could be used to develop cell replacement therapies. ... to use pre-implantation embryos as a source of ES cells for research on cell ..... that this 'artificial combination' should not be considered equivalent to a human embryo?
The use of human embryos for research on embryonic stem (ES) cells is currently high on the ethical and political agenda in many countries. Despite the potential benefit of using human ES cells in the treatment of disease, their use remains controversial because of their derivation from early embryos. Here, we address some of the ethical issues surrounding the use of human embryos and human ES cells in the context of state-of-the-art research on the development of stem cell based transplantation therapy.

Typical GMO hysteria from junk science and pseudo science syes. Unfortunately, most people choose to remain ignorant and believe in hucksters because critical thinking is hard.

I guess it is safe to say that some people posting on this thread have not ever watched The Incurables on Veria TV. Watching people cure their "incurable" diseases with major dietary changes is quite illuminating. You can actually see people's psoriasis disappear once they go vegan. It takes five to six months. Just fascinating.
I am against the use of stem cells to look for new ways to drug people. If we just ate what we were supposed to eat, so many diseases would disappear. So many diseases are actually caused by vitamin deficiencies.
I think seeing some of these negative posts, is re-inspiring me to go vegan, and live the healthiest life I possibly can. I guess something wonderful and positive can spring from intense negativity after all.

Did they bother to READ the article? Can they read? Because the article isn't saying what they think it said....lol. The idea that someday people won't die while they wait on list for organs is amazing.Thank you. ITA!
