Tech Advances: Brainless Clones, Artificial Uterus, AI, and More

R3 Bio, a California-based startup, has revealed its plans to create non-sentient monkey "organ sacks" as an alternative to animal testing.

However, the company is also exploring a more daring and controversial vision: the creation of "brainless clones" that would serve as backup human bodies.

This proposal raises profound ethical questions and opens a debate on the limits of technology and morality.

Reproductive health researchers managed to keep a donated human uterus alive outside the body using a device called "Mother".

The uterus was connected to a machine that pumped modified human blood through its arteries and veins.

This achievement could lead to long-term maintenance of uteruses outside the body and could open up new avenues for pregnancy research, and even the growth of human fetuses.
