Concerns about ethical boundaries in scientific research are growing as reports surface about scientists creating three-parent embryos, hybridizing humans and animals and growing human brains.
A new experiment out of the University Hospital Düsseldorf in Germany is raising more concerns after scientists said they grew human brain organoids, or small versions of human organs, that began spontaneously growing eyes, according to Science Alert.
Scientists at the university said the rudimentary eyes recognized light and sent information to the brain.
Though the discovery is disturbing, some scientists celebrated the discovery as a new avenue for research on human development.
Here’s more from the report:
On tiny, human-derived brain organoids grown in dishes, two bilaterally symmetrical optic cups were seen to grow, mirroring the development of eye structures in human embryos. This incredible result will help us to better understand the process of eye differentiation and development, as well as eye diseases.
“Our work highlights the remarkable ability of brain organoids to generate primitive sensory structures that are light sensitive and harbor cell types similar to those found in the body,” said neuroscientist Jay Gopalakrishnan of University Hospital Düsseldorf in Germany.
Other concerning experiments involving human brains have been reported in scientific journals in recent years. For example, in 2020, scientists at the University of California San Diego told Nature they recorded brain waves from human brain organoids that they grew in the lab for six to eight months.
“… hundreds of miniature human brains, the size of sesame seeds, float in Petri dishes, sparking with electrical activity,” the report began.

No?
Okay.
If this is for Biden then they’d better hurry up...............
LOL!
Good to see “brain science” is back in Germany—where it belongs....
:-(
“Abby Something”
Why not?
Classic horror/sci-fi fare: Create bodies without souls which then become ripe for the picking by disembodied spirits/demons.
Brain being given ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine daily.
Not really sure those qualify as eyes
Once they give the brain a mouth he will able to say things like, ow.
Or, you’re killing me.
Of course, then the brain will have to wear a mask.
You almost made me spit my coffee! LOL
Someone posted this story yesterday, this is creepy as hell.
They might consider offering one to Biden, it might be an improvement.
New CA voters.
THAT is creepy as hell.. It even LOOKS like Biden!
