Lab grown meat already exists. The same processes could easily make human meat without harming the human.

I’m fairly certain this will at some point lead to a social media fad of people trying, well, people. It seems like every possible stupid action has already been turned into one at this point https://eu.app.com/story/news/world/2024/03/07/what-is-tiktok-chroming-trend/72879475007/

Onlyfans creators already sell stuff like toenail clippings and bathwater https://kotaku.com/belle-delphine-onlyfans-paypal-pornhub-bath-water-1851491916

Wouldn’t be difficult to imagine people buying meat made of their favourite creator. What they do with it is between them and their god.

    The problem with cloning would also be that a clone of a human is a human with all rights and limitations, the “buddy” would be a slave.

        Performing a lobotomy to a human sounds highly illegal in itself, but as far as I know are lobotomized humans still humans with all human rights.

          Well, that’s fair enough, but i think we already abandoned legality of the whole operation at the “growing entire human body” part

            I don’t think that there is a legal issue with that, as long as only a lifeless body is grown

              The problem with a lifeless body is it will quickly decompose, so it has to have basic functions like breathing and blood pumping

                No brain but a microcontroller to give the right electric signals to the lungs and heart.

                It is a fascinating Gedankenexperiment, very creepy and dark but fascinating

                  That could work, yes

                  (Bezos if you ever do this could you give us a cut of the profits? Thans in advance)

                  Also i think the word you are looking for is thought experiment (unless german was a stylistic choice)
