Gene-edited pig organs transplanted into humans: a 69-edit pig kidney (2024) and 10-edit pig hearts (2022 and 2023), with FDA trials cleared in 2025. The dossier reads it as the engineered body becoming an organ commodity.
[Report #108 — Cloning/Eugenics Lens] 69-edit pig kidney (Slayman, MGH Mar 2024) + 10-edit pig hearts (Bennett 2022, Faucette 2023); FDA trials cleared 2025. The engineered body as organ commodity. Apex held; manifestation b.
Artificial-womb research: lamb fetuses were grown in a 'biobag' for up to 4 weeks in 2017, but as of June 2026 no human trial has been approved. The dossier stresses that 'industrial human production' remains a held projection, not a current fact.
[Report #108 — Cloning/Eugenics Lens] Lamb fetuses grown up to 4 weeks (CHOP 2017); NO approved human trial as of Jun 2026 (FDA advisory meeting Sept 2023). 'Industrial human production' = held projection. Apex held; manifestation b/c.
Making eggs and sperm from stem cells: mouse pups have been born this way (~2016), but human work remains at a precursor stage with no births. The dossier's stated concern is that the technique would industrialize embryo selection — while flagging that talk of thousands of embryos at a time is projection, not fact.
[Report #108 — Cloning/Eugenics Lens] Mouse pups born from stem-cell eggs (~2016); human work at precursor stage only, no births. Recognized concern: industrializes embryo SELECTION — but the thousands/10,000 scale is projection, not fact. Apex held; manifestation b.
Research growing human cells inside animal embryos: human-pig chimeras in 2017, and humanized pig-embryo kidneys grown to about 28 days in 2023 — but no transplantable human organs yet. The dossier holds its 'body as resource' reading without upgrading it.
[Report #108 — Cloning/Eugenics Lens] Salk human-pig chimeras (2017); humanized pig-embryo kidneys to ~28 days (2023). NO transplantable human organs yet. Body-as-resource reading held. Apex held; manifestation b.
The patchwork of cloning law: a non-binding 2005 UN declaration, the 14-day embryo research rule relaxed in 2021, a US restriction that covers federal funds only (leaving private work legal), plus special zones in China's Hainan and a 2016 procedure in Mexico. The dossier argues the 'ban' works as a filter deciding who gets to do this work, not a wall.
[Report #108 — Cloning/Eugenics Lens] UN-2005 non-binding; 14-day rule relaxed 2021; Dickey-Wicker = federal funds only (private legal); Boao Lecheng (Hainan) zone; Mexico MRT 2016. The 'ban' is a filter. Apex held; manifestation b.
A guardrail card: clones are not the same person — their biology drifts, and in the dossier's words 'perspective cannot be copied, the original dies' — so the idea of a clone as a personal backup is a category error. Body-as-resource is documented; an 'elite breeding programme' stays a gated hypothesis, not a finding.
[Report #108 — Cloning/Eugenics Lens] Clones aren't the same person (epigenetic drift); 'perspective cannot be copied, the original dies.' Body-as-resource is documented; 'elite breeding programme' stays apex-A-gated, not a finding.
