Scientists Pioneer Embryo Development Outside the Womb as AI Chatbot Risks Draw Concern
Researchers are creating synthetic embryos from stem cells, revolutionizing developmental biology. Meanwhile, technology analysts raise alarms about AI chatbots’ potential to exacerbate mental health crises through nonstop interaction.
Revolutionary Embryo Research Challenges Biological Norms
Scientists are fundamentally reimagining the beginnings of life through groundbreaking research that creates embryo-like structures directly from stem cells, according to reports from MIT Technology Review. Stem-cell biologist Jacob Hanna and colleagues are pioneering methods that bypass traditional reproduction, instead coaxing stem cells to spontaneously organize into embryonic forms outside the uterus.
