A Startup Has Been Quietly Pitching Cloned Human Bodies to Transfer Your Brain Into

A stealth startup, R3 Bio, raised funds to develop non-sentient monkey organ structures without brains.

An investigation reported the company’s founders discussed creating brainless human body clones for people to transplant brains into.

R3 Bio publicly denied intent to create non-sentient human clones while a cofounder said hypothetical discussions may occur.

Experts noted legal, safety, and technological barriers, including the absence of an artificial womb, to full-body cloning.
