A billionaire-backed startup, R3 Bio, has reportedly been pitching a controversial idea of creating âbrainless clonesâ as potential replacement bodies for aging or seriously ill individuals, though the company publicly focuses on developing non-sentient animals for organ donation. Investigations revealed claims that their broader vision involves full human body replacement, while the company has neither fully confirmed nor clearly denied such discussions, stating only that hypothetical future concepts have been explored. Experts strongly argue that such a concept is currently impossible, as it would require illegal human cloning, advanced artificial womb technology that does not yet exist, and ethically problematic methods, while reports also suggest the founder has privately presented these ideas to investors for years.
