Let's Clone Messiah! Artwork

Let's Clone Messiah! The topic of this work is cloning and transhumanism. Like mother Mariah the nurse is holding two babies, instead of one, and several others are lungering around on the floor, yearning for her attention. „The next step will be the generation of larger chimeric animals, such as pigs bearing human organs. Because of the dramatic organ shortage for transplantation, the medical needs for such a transgressive practice are indisputable. However, there are serious technical barriers and complex ethical issues that must be discussed and solved before producing human organs in animals. The main ethical issues are the risks of consciousness and of human features in the chimeric animal due to a too high contribution of human cells to the brain, in the first case, or for instance to limbs, in the second. Another critical point concerns the production of human gametes by such chimeric animals. These worst-case scenarios are obviously unacceptable and must be strictly monitored by careful risk assessment, and, if necessary, technically prevented. The public must be associated with this ethical debate.“ Source: https://stemcellres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13287-016-0345-9
