    The quest for long, healthy life—and even immortality—is probably almost as old as humans are, but it’s never been hotter than it is right now.

    MITテクノロジーレビューは先週、考える能力や、痛みを感じる能力を持ない生体であるボディオイド(Bodyoids)についての記事を公開した。この記事では、生物工学の進歩によって、研究や臓器移植に利用できる「予備(スペア)」の人体生成がもうすぐ可能になる、と3人の科学者たちが主張している。 この時点でゾッとしたとしても、それはあなただけではない。サイエンス・フィクション(SF)の、恐ろしい筋書きをそのまま持って来たかのような薄気味悪い構想である。しかし、ボディオイドは良い用途に利用できる。そして、本当に意識を持たず、思考できない体であれば、ボディオイドの利用は「ほとんどの人にとっての倫理的な限界線」を越えないだろう、と3名の著者は主張する。私には、そう断言できる自信はない。 いずれにせよ、科学と生物工学の発展によって、ボディオイドが実現する可能性が近づいていることは間違いない。そして、この構想はすでに多くの倫理的な議論と論争を引き起こしている。...

    Cerca de 1.400 bebês estão sendo infectados pelo HIV todos os dias como resultado dos cortes da nova administração dos EUA no financiamento a organizações de combate à AIDS, segundo novas projeções.

    Kürzlich veröffentlichte die US-Ausgabe von MIT Technology Review ein Essay über sogenannte Bodyoids – lebende Körper, die weder denken noch Schmerz empfinden können. In dem Beitrag argumentiert ein Trio von Wissenschaftlern, dass Fortschritte in der Biotechnologie es uns bald ermöglichen könnten, menschliche Ersatzkörper zu schaffen, die sowohl für die Forschung als auch für Spenderorgane verwendet werden könnten.

Seen #exosomes advertised for anti-aging, hair regrowth, or as a miracle cure? Unfortunately, even cell biologists don't really know what they do—or if there are any benefits, or risks, to using them. https://t.co/UDgPhwAnfv
