A recent article in MIT Technology Review explores "bodyoids," hypothetical human bodies engineered without brains, for medical use. These beings, lacking consciousness, could provide a "potentially unlimited source" of organs and experimental subjects. The author argues that this concept, though disturbing, is seen as ethically sound by some scientists. The article draws parallels between bodyoids and "zombies," highlighting the ethical concerns surrounding their creation and exploitation. The author questions the criteria of "brain death" which is linked to organ donation. The author argues that proponents of bodyoids are, in effect, seeking to create vulnerable human beings for experimentation without moral restrictions. The creation of bodyoids seems to risk diminishing our understanding of what constitutes human dignity. The author emphasizes that a bodyoid's value lies in its humanity, not in its lifelessness, which makes the ethical issues more complex. The author concludes that supporting such a project would require a kind of moral apathy akin to that of a "zombie." The author also critiques the concept of "brain death" and its implications for defining personhood.
