For the umpteenth time.

It's already available but research was cut due to ethical concerns

It went like this
>project presents the idea of taking stem cells from a patient who need new organs
>modify a pig fetus to grow the needed organ with the DNA of the patient
>inject it to a sow
>raise and harvest
The plan was expected to cost just 1/3 of standard donated organs but they cut it at the stage of modifying pig fetus because someone had the bright idea to ask:
"What if it grew a human brain? Is it still a pig?"
"What if it had 50% human organs? Is it still a pig?"

Morality sure is an annoyance, isn't it?
If not for morals, we could have made orks destroying mankind right now

>> No.11815915

>>11815881
I'm no expert but maybe it's possible to stop the differentiation of a head/brain structure on the donor fetus with some sort of substance, like how thalidomide blocked arms from developing fully. If the donating fetus has no brain, it can't be argued that it is alive or can feel pain and it would then be okay to harvest the organs.

>> No.11816042

>>11815915
Yeah, but now you have to answer to Animal Rights.
Is it ethical to purposely create brain dead animals for the sake of organs?

Normal answer would be yes but remember: people who are cruel to animals have a strong correlation with psychopathy and sociopath. Such is why FBI are always monitoring animal abusers

If it is prevented from developing a brain by design, then it's not. If it was possible to cut off someone's head yet keep the body on life support somehow would that still be a human?

As long as there is no human brain, there is no moral dilemma. Growing human bodies without a brain for the purpose of harvesting their organs doesn't inflict any suffering on anyone, on the contrary, it actually has the potential to remedy and prevent a lot of suffering. You can't inflict suffering on a being without a brain, there's no way that such a thing would be immoral.

I became director of obstetrics of a large hospital in New York City and had to set up a prenatal research unit, just at the start of a great new technology which we now use every day to study the fetus in the womb. A favorite pro-abortion tactic is to insist that the definition of when life begins is impossible; that the question is a theological or moral or philosophical one, anything but a scientific one"
-Dr. Bernard Nathanson 75,000 abortions

>""At the end of six weeks, I was angry at what I had seen. I thought that women should have a safe abortion and I would provide it. At that time, there was not one abortion center in the entire state of Mississippi. A group of "concerned citizens and clergy" had already lined up a place to rent and had hired nurses and counselors. Everything was ready to open the first abortion mill in Mississippi, except that they needed a physician willing to become the "town abortionist." I initially declined, but later determined that I would run the best abortion facility in the country.

>The new abortion mill was running smoothly. We only offered first trimester (first 12 weeks of pregnancy) abortions because I felt later abortions were riskier. Nevertheless, I did experience complications, the worst of which was perforating a uterus and suctioning a piece of small bowel into the tube. I was so depressed I couldn't stand it. I started considering Christianity, and at one point prayed the scripture, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." One day an employee at the mill asked to see the contents of the sock in the suction machine. I saw a beautiful arm, and I thought, "What are you doing?" That was one of the last abortions I did."

Unfortunately and ironically it has become transparent that all who would survive the coming future need do to attain their technological heaven is kill/detain all pseudo philosophers who push morals and ethics that impede the scientific progress of those far more capable. What we are experiencing is a divergence in the human psyche: one side believes the ends justify the means, and the other clings to a dogmatic sense of morality that increasingly suffocates its every step forward in a swamp of bureaucracy. Advancement requires sacrifice. There is no way around this. While morality and ethics have their place, you've overburdened yourselves to the point of blind zealotry. Your loved ones will continue to die from diseases that could have been cured decades ago, while those willing to get their hands dirty will find miraculous ways to cure them, and then you will come begging to partake and share in such, pretending you're still innocent and pure. You're revolting, but there is still time to join the winning team. You'd better hurry.

Just look at the numbers. In 2006, China performed over 20,000 organ transplants. At the same time, China only had 130 voluntary organ donors.

China says they get the organs from executed prisoners. Public executions in 2006 are estimated to be between 1000 and 8000. Even taking the higher value, there's a massive discrepancy. Even if China executed enough prisoners to match the number, matching all prisoner organs exactly to donor recipients is statistically impossible. On top of that, using prisoners to source organs would require prisoner executions to by chance coincide with a 24-48 hour window for the transplant.

At the same time, China has the lowest wait time for a transplant in the entire world. The only conclusion is that China has a massive hidden source of organs.
