R3 Bio pitched brainless human clones for spare body parts
California biotech startup R3 Bio has been pitching investors on growing nonsentient, "brainless" human clones to serve as living backup bodies and custom organ sources. While the company publicly claims it only raised funds to create monkey "organ sacks" for lab testing, confidential presentations revealed far more radical anti-aging ambitions. Ethicists warn the concept crosses terrifying lines, even as longevity backers pour money into body replacement.
