Sci/Tech Genetically Farmed Micro Humans to be Farmed for Drug Testing by 2017

[The Helper]

Developers of artificial micro-humans, or ‘mini GM humans,’ are hoping to release their technology on the market by 2017.

No this isn’t a sci-fi joke. Scientists are developing artificial humans in the same vein as GM plants with the hope that these creations will replace the need for using animals in laboratory testing.

Artificial humans will be ‘farmed’ with interacting organs that can be used in drug tests, speeding up the process of FDA and other government regulatory approvals, and supposedly without damaging rats or other animals currently used in laboratories. The GM humans will contain smartphone-sized microchips that will be programmed to replicate up to 10 major human organs.

Each GM human will be tiny – roughly the size of a microchip itself, simulating the response of humans to substances inhaled, absorbed in the blood, or exposed to in the intestinal tract.

This is the plot of that one movie, isnt it?

That sounds like something out of science fiction.
But it would be "good news for animals."

I want in.

I want in.

Write a letter tell them about your ambition.

Too beggy.

Kidnapped by them ? Well, at least it's not begging
