Human cloning is moving from science fiction to the edge of reality as CRISPR and other gene-editing technologies advance at unprecedented speed. Recent breakthroughs in genetic editing, embryo manipulation, and cellular reprogramming suggest that scientists may soon have the ability to create genetically identical humans, raising both excitement and alarm. The technology builds on decades of animal cloning, but human applications carry profound ethical, legal, and societal implications, from identity and individuality to medical risks and potential misuse.
Experts stress that even if the science becomes feasible, the moral and regulatory hurdles are enormous, and the debate touches religion, human rights, and global governance. While some see potential benefits in disease eradication or organ generation, others warn of a world where cloning could exacerbate inequality, exploitation, or bioethical violations, making it one of the most controversial frontiers of modern biotechnology.

Is being human something only we can feel, or something machines can simulate?
Insoo Hyun and Vardit Ravitsky explore whether human consciousness is something we access through introspection, or something machines can replicate through language and algorithms.

Wait… was human cloning actually legal in 1999? This 60 Minutes segment from over 25 years ago shows just how close scientists were to making it a reality. A "carbon copy" of a human being in just 9 months.

At Saturday’s Wellness Forum, Dr. Claudia Barned, bioethicist and professor at the University of Toronto, delivered a thought provoking reflection one of the most pressing ethical challenges emerging from her research.
She addressed the growing complexities surrounding medical innovation, healthcare inequities, and informed consent, issues that continue to test our moral frameworks and demand greater accountability and transparency across sectors.
Her message was clear: meaningful progress in healthcare must be grounded not only in scientific advancement, but in ethical responsibility and compassion.

During COVID, hospitals faced impossible choices about who to save first — ventilators, vaccines, and critical care. You’d think the priority would be the elderly, the most vulnerable. But some policymakers argued that since there were more elderly white people, care should instead prioritize “marginalized” groups.

obviously a joke but just an fyi, asking someone to takedown a post or attempting to correct the record before escalating to legal action (or threats of one), is probably a good idea.
and also prolly not a good idea to be sending so many love letters and insinuating they found my employer/address before there was any formal legal filing which means their data is just wrong if they even have any 🫶
