    The article gives me the impression that they're not even thinking of using these to "grow" a human. They're stem cells that apparently are treated/modified so that they can be used for research and testing. At present, laws forbid them from 'growing' the cells beyond a 14-day limit.

    It sounds more like people are wandering into sci-fi territory. Now that AI has become such a concern, I think we will see more and more articles and reports about scientific fields where it seems science has crossed some boundary that might threaten human survival, etc.

    it’s not human

    Try explaining that to a creature with a mind and heart like the rest of us. Or maybe that’s the justification for parts of it.

    They cells do neither develop a brain, nor a heart.
