WEF Scientists are growing human bodies in artificial wombs to use as ‘meat’

WScientists affiliated with the World Economic Forum (WEF) are making a terrifying proposal: growing human bodies in artificial wombs to serve as “meat” and experimental instruments. This radical vision, which blends science fiction with reality, aims to create soulless “bodyoids” for medical use—and beyond.

Led by researchers Carsten T. Charlesworth, Henry T. Greely, and Hiromitsu Nakauchi, the plan , published in MIT Technology Review , envisions a future in which these lab-grown entities could transform medicine. Designed to endure relentless pain, the bodyoids would serve as living test beds for new drugs and incubators for transplantable human organs, sparking both intrigue and anxiety, writes Sean Adl-Tabatabai .

The scientists claim their Frankenstein-like creation could solve pressing medical challenges, from organ shortages to risky drug trials. Yet, the idea of harvesting these grisly, zombie-like forms—possibly even as a raw material called “meat”—has sparked a heated debate about the ethical boundaries of bioengineering.

The plan would become reality using pluripotent stem cells, one of the earliest cell types that form during human development.

The stem cells have already been used to grow organic material and, more recently, to successfully create a structure resembling a human embryo.

Researchers hope to grow the fetuses completely outside the body in artificial wombs, which are already being tested in laboratories.

They plan to use “genetic engineering” to shut down brain production and make the body senseless.

Once grown, the bodies “could solve many ethical problems in modern medicine, by providing ways to prevent unnecessary pain and suffering,” the scientists write.

One of those problems, according to the daring scientists, is finding “ethically responsible meat.”

They wrote: “For example, they could offer an ethical alternative to the way we currently use nonhuman animals for research and food, by providing meat or other products without animal suffering or consciousness.”

The researchers admitted that their plan raises endless ethical questions, but emphasized the world of possibilities that could open up if the reserve bodies are developed.

They pointed out that medical researchers rely primarily on animals for testing, which are not always directly transferable to human treatments.

In addition, the animals can be tortured during testing because they are sensitive and feel pain.

According to the researchers, an endless number of drugs are constantly being tested, but only a few are approved for safe use in humans.

That’s because the drugs must be conducted on living people in clinical trials that “can be harmful to patients” and “can take a decade or more to complete.”

Only about 15% of these studies are completed successfully, the researchers said.

MEDICAL MYSTERY

The scientists pointed to the more than 100,000 Americans currently waiting for a solid organ transplant and emphasized that the crisis will not end anytime soon.

They also noted that medical students rely on people who choose to donate their bodies to science for the necessary training in school.

At the end of the bizarre essay, the scientists made a desperate plea to begin testing on rodents as soon as possible.

They said: “Until recently, the idea of creating something like a bodyoid was relegated to science fiction and philosophical speculation.

But now it’s at least plausible—and potentially revolutionary. It’s time to investigate.
