Is it still a human? Homo sapiens?
They seem to be doing this to study the early phases of #pregnancy and prevent #miscarriages, but this is really a small step away from really serious and morally questionable actions.

Scientists grow whole model of human #embryo, without sperm or egg

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-66715669

Whoa! Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo, without using sperm, eggs or a womb.

BBC reports on the "embryo model": https://flip.it/7c0bOY

Internationalen Forschungsteams ist es erstmals gelungen, ein menschliches Embryonen-Modell aus Stammzellen herzustellen. Welche Möglichkeiten ergeben sich dadurch für die Wissenschaft und was könnte sich in Deutschland ändern, wo die Embryonenforschung verboten ist?

Offenbar wurden erstmals menschliche Embryonen im Labor gezüchtet. Droht nun der Weltuntergang oder ist es ein Hoffnungsschimmer? Kollege Rainer Kurlemann ordnet die Erkenntnisse @riffreporter in gewohnt informativer Weise für euch ein.
