Recent advances in biotechnology now provide a pathway to producing living human bodies without the neural components that allow us to think, be aware, or feel pain. Many will find this possibility disturbing, but if researchers and policymakers can find a way to pull these technologies together, we may one day be able to create “spare” bodies, both human and nonhuman.

oh yeah, I saw this movie. I think it had Carrie Mulligan in it. sad ending.
anyway, next headline: undocumented migrants, the unhoused, and protestors legally classified as “bodyoids”.
Wild the version I saw had Ewan McGregor. Had a happy ending.
But it’s interesting to have two films about cloning people for their organs in 5 years. The Island 2005 and Never Let Me Go 2010
I too have seen this movie, although I could’ve sworn it was with Scarlett Johansson…
