bodyoids may be the key to extending human lifespan beyond perfectly-matched replacement organs and tissues whenever you need them, imagine replacing everything all at once, instead of piece by piece a head or brain transplant onto a brand new body, a clone of yourself, when your current body can no longer be repaired scientists have both successfully cloned primates and performed head transplants on primates in fact, the reason the primate died 9 days after the head transplant, in the 1970s, was due to the body rejecting the head - something a clone bodyoid would solve arpa-h recently launched a program called front with hundreds of millions of dollars working on progressive replacement of the brain, the one piece we of course cannot swap out entirely at hydradao we now have rats, rabbits, and even pigs walking days after complete transection of the spinal cord, ensuring a head transplant would not lead to quadriplegia pieces of the puzzle are coming together to form a path towards radical life extension that doesn't require us to solve the mysteries of aging bodyoids are at the center of it all
Kai Micah Mills@kaimicahmills

the ultimate solution is through technology we engineer what has been called a bodyoid: brainless animal bodies that provide as much meat as we desire without harming any sentient beings this would transform medicine - the same platform would allow us to grow organs on demand, eliminate transplant waiting lists, and produce perfectly matched tissues for each patient experimental therapies could be tested on full biological systems without involving conscious animals, regenerative medicine would accelerate as entire replacement tissues become manufacturable in the same way that agriculture turned food from a scarce resource into an abundant one, engineered bodyoids would turn biological material into infrastructure - meat without slaughter, organs without donors, and medical research without sentient suffering

@neilwa @kaimicahmills In that case the only difference is they still "feel" pain physically with a brain present even though it's unresponsive. Nociceptors still respond to the stimuli and the brain reacts to those

@AustinTLynch @kaimicahmills in this thought experiment, the pigs would be comatose from birth. imo this would be equivalent to having no brain

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates. Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023. Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state. The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices. Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

My bodyoid clone would be my brother. He would be my mother and father’s son. I would love him. And I would have created him to merely die for my benefit. Your assertion that to lack consciousness is to lack human dignity is a “vibe,” and it defies thousands of years of human morality, ethics, and deeply held belief. A bodyoid is a human being.

@Aiden31236644 @inkysputter @IntractableLion Calling it man-made horrors is automatically putting a title onto something we've yet to do or see at that scale. The clause is really as simple as "we should make factory farm animals not have to suffer" and without the over the top visual given, you just see a pig

@inkysputter @AustinTLynch @IntractableLion You are saying that we ought to make the meatbag man made horrors to reduce suffering. You making an ought claim requires that you give a justification. Saying suffering is bad and I don’t like it, isn’t a justification for a moral ought/responsibility.

Then make a real point against it all that doesn't involve insulting the messenger or the subject itself. Tell me what is wrong about this, in your eyes. No one in the scientific field is going to care if something life saving is ugly. This isn't marketed as a pet. Your vibes don't matter when the solution solves animal suffering and opens the door to life saving technology. Do you take issue with the desire to organically live longer? When you're 75 and your heart gives out, you just want it to be over? No chance of just getting a new one and living longer? That's the end goal with the research in this field and you think it's some kind of hidden narrative here.

Would you like to live in a cell the size of yourself until you're eaten? No? Even when stupid, they still experience that. Better to make them experience as much as an ear of corn if we're going to treat them like that. Pigs will still exist as normal, we will just have these to keep up with the demand for food

@AustinTLynch @3mk4y_ @kaimicahmills There are certainly problems with those industries, but hogs are farrowed and kept in crates because the sows will kill each other and their own babies if they are not. Chickens are only slightly more intelligent than insects, which we have no problem killing.

Human is a much harder pill to swallow but ultimately a much more beneficial one. Massive health benefits in research, longevity, organ banking, etc. Cloning and organ printing is already making progress, this just makes an easier and more ethical version of cloning that still gives you almost all of the essentials. Unfortunately no perfect cure for the brain being damaged yet but we're working on progressive replacement methods to fix that too.

First person I've seen this opposed to ending factory farms and stopping the organ shortage. Still not a real argument besides calling it gross and icky. If you make an actually valid argument against it besides how it looks or sounds then I'll share it with the organization that's actually doing this. 👀🙏

Why do you think people recoil in horror when they hear about human bodyoids? Why do you suppose that is? Has it occurred to you that NOT recoiling in horror might disqualify you from weighing in on the ethics of making brainless human clones to harvest their organs? Yes, you are a weird looking creep. And you need to consider the impact that’s having on your decision to make bodyoids.

@SethBRKV @kaimicahmills Lolol I know. Organ Sac is more of an inside joke for them atp. Bodyoid is the more real answer so far, I'd have to check the list for the others but nothing bites just right yet

the bodyoid faq: - how would bodyoids exist without a brain? biology already gives examples - in rare conditions like hydranencephaly, large portions of the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, fail to develop the body still forms, organs grow, and many basic physiological systems function, but the neural architecture required for consciousness never emerges a bodyoid would apply the same principle intentionally: allow normal body development while preventing formation of the structures associated with sentience - development continues, tissues mature, organs grow, but the organism never forms a conscious brain - why not just do cultured meat? cultured meat may work for simple tissues, but biology already knows how to build vascularized muscle, fat marbling, connective tissue, skin, and bone - a bodyoid lets development do the work we then also unlock organs on demand, blood, skin, collagen, and countless other biological materials also, people clearly don't find it good enough - why doesn't everyone just stop eating meat? good luck - are you jewish? no - is this science fiction? no - we are actively funding labs with millions of $$ working on brainless clones and other steps of this process via @daohydra, some of whom have already had successes in small mammals (mouse bodyoids that lack consciousness, have no head/arms/legs, only a tail, which they are still working to remove) - why not just print organs? bioprinting is promising but extremely difficult at full scale - organs are dense vascular systems with billions of cells arranged precisely, a bodyoid grows them naturally - are human bodyoids next? hopefully! the bottleneck in modern medicine is biological material right now, people die waiting for organs - kidneys, hearts, livers, lungs, skin grafts, bone, blood products - demand vastly exceeds supply a human bodyoid platform would mean organs on demand - clones would mean perfectly matched tissues grown for each patient - no waiting lists, no rejection, no need to rely on deceased donors it would also transform trauma care and surgery where severe burns could receive unlimited skin grafts, damaged organs could be replaced rather than managed, experimental therapies could be tested on full biological systems without involving conscious humans, and the list goes on so, yes, you should want your own personal bodyoid - this is evil/an abomination/going against god/etc/you should be burned at the stake you should see what we do to the real pigs - ethically speaking, this is essentially a meaty plant bodyoids are coming :) btw, I have enjoyed many hours reading hundreds of very funny comments, thank you

@kaimicahmills This tech is incredible. And obvious that must be done. We just need to create better optics. A better cooler name (not bodoid) so that people get enthusiastic. Heavily weight in on a fact that current way of living animals slaughter is inhumane and cruel.

@eunhosapple @KingVelesI Meat prices skyrocket. We'd love factory farms not existing, but it accounts for about 74% of all meat production globally. It's not currently feasible with the market for it.

Transhumanists would rather fill the world with these nightmarish abominations than accept the fact that their morality is fundamentally flawed. There is NOTHING morally wrong with slaughtering animals. Livestock can be raised and slaughtered 100% humanely. They can live happy, healthy lives, and have painless, stress-free deaths. I know this for a fact, as that's how we do it on our farm. In nature, prey animals depend on predators to keep their numbers in check, and prevent them from destroying their own environment and, thus, themselves through overpopulation. In ethical animal husbandry, humans have simply taken on the role of a supremely benevolent apex predator that grants their "prey" lives and deaths that are far, FAR better than those their wild counterparts get to experience. Thus, converting wilderness to farms already results in a HUGE decrease of animal suffering, and on truly ethical farms, animals don't suffer at all. Hence, I believe pushing for cruelty-free farming is a much better and healthier strategy than trying to spawn horrific, brainless flesh robots in an effort to solve a non-existent moral problem.

@retardrutide @gfodor They really just look like a big football of flesh. Still have a tail though. Lab grown meat is cool and all but it doesn't give you what people mainly want. Steak, ribs, etc. Plus full body gives the opportunity for medical uses as well with organs

@gfodor In a mechanical sense it is not so different from lab grown meat which doesn't have this kind of revulsion, probably because making these involves extensive genetic hacking to the point of body horror unlike the bottom up approach of lab grown meat.

@gfodor no factory farms and no meat sacks. when AI increases unemployment the solution is more humans raising animals humanely. higher meat prices from a prohibition on factory farms will incentivize it

"production" is quite literally the evolutionary purpose of every organism. Fruit is plant reproduction. Mushrooms are fungus reproduction bodies. All animals are created from a form of reproduction. This is literally just production by everything to simply exist another generation
