If someone you know buys into claims about "genetic optimization" of embryos using polygenic scores of cognition, just send them our 2024 paper on Beethoven & musicality. We wrote it to help communicate limits of individual-level genetic predictions & complexity of links between DNA & behaviour. 🧪👇

“By giving parents the illusion of so much control,” Anna Louie Sussman writes, certain I.V.F. technologies “could lead to viewing embryos as a consumer product while overemphasizing the role of genetics in life outcomes.”

This paper is the weirdest & most unsettling thing I've ever (co)written. & HUGE science questions—not just ectogenesis, but could a "brainless" animal survive? would it be a good model for a "real" animal? And ethics question, which are much bigger with humans. But I think it needs discussion.

Imagine human bodies grown without complete brains, without consciousness.
These are "bodyoids."
And today in MIT Technology Review, researchers from Stanford University are ready to talk about them.
