American scientists plan to grow "headless people" on organs, according to the British tabloid Daily Star.
"Billionaire-backed scientists plan to grow 'headless humans'... biotech company R3 BIO says it hopes to produce 'brainless bodies' as an ethical alternative to animal experiments. One of the investors hopes that this will help scientists extract organs grown in the laboratory," the newspaper writes.
Several other Western media outlets are talking about this project. It is noted that according to the developers, "such structures" do not have consciousness and do not feel pain, which makes it possible to circumvent ethical restrictions and reduce the use of animals in scientific research.
The project attracted the attention of investors who see potential in both pharmaceuticals and transplantology. It is noted, however, that "the technology is still at an early stage and causes serious ethical discussions — despite the lack of consciousness, the public perception of such "biological forms" may become a key factor for their future application."
