Stanford University bioethicist says as the lab rats become more human-like they may one day be 'entitled to some kind of respect'

TINY human brains injected into rats have sparked a major ethical debate among scientists worried it may give the rodents some type of human consciousness.

Esteemed science ethicists claim the experiments might reach a point where the test lab rats will be "entitled to some kind of respect".

Advances in science have allowed experts to connect tiny human brains with that of a rat.

To do this, they created clumps of cells that behave similarly to human brains called organoids.

Several labs have inserted those organoids into rat brains, connected them to blood vessels and successfully grown physical links.

Medical mag Stat reported that when scientists shone a light into a rat's eye or stimulated the brain regions involved in vision, that the neurons in the implanted organoid fired up.

These people have gone out of their minds.

"... it may give the rodents some type of human consciousness." Never going to happen, absolutely impossible!

[MWestMom]

Yup. New DemocRATS. And look at one of the first things they are demanding: “Esteemed science ethicists claim the experiments might reach a point where the the test lab rats will be “entitled to some kind of respect.”

There is that entitled word again.

Definitely smarter then pelousy. Even without the transplant
