Crap, that’s a minefield! I really don’t like the idea of animals being created for us but I’m not vegetarian either.
Oh god the part where “could end up with a human mind trapped in a non human body” is terrifying! Reminds me of that movie The Island with Ewen McGregor where rich people get clones that they can use for sport parts if they need do; an ethical minefield!

I just have no words for them all.

I thought we were becoming able to grow our own replacement organs in vats. Let’s do that.

If they are going down this road can they please create a half man half lobster person? Something cool at least? Half man half snake?
Sounds like the start of a new dark dystopian animal superhero series.
So creepy. And while it’s nice to talk about the ethics or morals of it all, you know there are people out there that don’t have those concerns.
