Synthetic Humans

Besides being a great band name, it’s now a reality. No egg or sperm needed to create human embryo.

Wow.

I always thought robots would kill us, but nope, it’s the synths

Begun, the clone wars have. 
 

That’s about all I got. That was a weirdly fascinating article.

I have always been interested in the ethics of cloning and the ability to customize a synth to make it a perfect donor to the original..

 

Essentially you could clone a non-sentient organ bag and use that for all transplants to extend the life of the host body.

The other question I have is how does bone grafts work with a perfect clone? Can you graft say a whole finger knowing that the body should not be able to distinguish the bone as foreign? At some point, would it essentially be the only thing we do not have the ability to transplant back and forth the skin and the mind...

 

Lots of crazy questions and more interesting how that works in the eyes of the law.

I'm dumb. 

Isn't a clone different than a synthetic human? A clone is a replica of your DNA. A synthetic human is a bespoke human, no?

I can't be the only one that thought this was going to be about Real Dolls.
