flag Scientists urge ethical rules for brain organoids after they integrate into animal brains and raise consciousness concerns.

flag Experts convened to address rising ethical concerns about brain organoids—lab-grown neural tissues derived from stem cells—that can integrate into animal brains and form complex neural networks. flag While early fears of human-like cognition in animals were unfounded, modern organoids’ advanced development has prompted urgent calls for oversight to prevent animal suffering and address long-term risks to consciousness and human identity. flag The rapid pace of progress has shifted the scientific community from a "wait-and-see" stance to demanding proactive ethical guidelines and potential government regulation, emphasizing the need for transparency, public trust, and responsible innovation.
