Wtf is this crap from? We have too many bodies donated for science. So much that we can’t use them all a few years back.
Good for med students though. Never short on corpses to practice on! Fr. Some students got kicked from uni for desecrating a corpse. They took out the intestines, made a lassoo from it and tried to swing it around.
Some bodies get sold for other forms of testing too…there was a scandal in the USA a while back.
Why am I not surprised that’s it’s America. Why is it always you man? You okay?
They aren’t ok. Haven’t been for a while.
Flawed from the start really.
“Ethically sourced.” Uh huh.
I believe Larry Niven wrote about this very concept.
If I recall, it seems that while nice in theory, capitalism and less ethical folks become a problem quickly. To be fair though, the same can be said if pretty much any industry.
They want $7500 for an eyeball? No, no, no! I can get you one for $750. Free range, not caged. Good stuff. Mostly legal. Meet me in the dark alley tonight.
In other news, I was today years old when I clicked on all the eyeball imagery in Blade Runner. Missed the forest for the trees kinda thing.
I take lungs now, gills come next week.
It’s not ethics that brought us in our current situation, but the lack of it.
I’m sure that’ll go great with capitalism

A little glass vial? A little glass vial!
They’ll humane-wash it with some fraud credential they created — like everything else — but the body inside will be some Palestinian, Uyghur, or “other” gulag prisoner; sourced from a fascist pipeline.
It’ll turn into “Soup Is Good Food” by DK or Soylent Green so fucking fast
I don’t see a problem with this.
so cloning people.
Wonder how the so called “pro life folk” will be about this?
Didn’t we want to clone ourselves in case we needed a kidney some years back?
Pretty sure there’s a million scifis about humanoids that feel human pain. That hommonculous is old enough to scream if it had a mouth.
yum, ethical long pork and organs.
BABE WAKE UP HOMUNCULI JUST DROPPED
Sorry but until capitalism is gone this is just crazy stupid.
The Island awaits you…
Lack of available test tissue might be slowing down drug approvals, but the main reason we don’t see cures is that drug companies don’t want to sell cures, they want to sell chronic treatments. If you cure a person you have a customer on Tuesday. Treat their condition and you have a customer for life. Drug companies aren’t motivated to produce cures any more than Nike is motivated to sell each person exactly one pair of shoes. This is a very good reason why public health should be publicly funded and publicly distributed. When medicine is an expense instead of a profit center, we’ll start curing diseases instead of maintaining them.
