      But then might not be accurate to say "I've". Maybe by the time then the deeper illusion may be that you think you had ownership over changing your mind when yet someone else has done it covertly

    It's fascinating how much we can do now with bio-engineering that we are finally getting to the frontiers of understanding brain mechanisms especially since despite the developments in science we never knew how we do the things we do. The fact that it's even happening in our age and time is just mind blowing. I think bio-engineering and genetics is about to go supernova in the near future but people seem to still be sleeping on these discoveries....

    The innovative research by Dr. Pasca’s lab is truly awe-inspiring and pioneering. Utilizing this organoid and assembloid technology may afford a not-so-distant future where our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and other devastating neurologic conditions can be enriched and the prospect of identifying feasible treatments or meaningful improvements could become a reality. I appreciate how Dr. Pasca acknowledged the important ethical considerations inherent to his research. At this juncture, the ongoing research does not seem to overtly violate ethical principles. This is considering that the skin samples are obtained under consent and with understanding that these cells are engineered neural tissue capable of organizing, responding physiologically, and resemble part of the brain, but are not sophisticated enough to have perception or feeling. While Dr. Pasca mentioned the scientific community’s obligation to operate carefully, and communicate ethical questions, societal implications, and potential regulations, the future application of this technology should be subject to diligent ethical evaluation, particularly use in transplantation of these organoids or assembloids into humans or animals. Furthermore, as the science continues to develop, these stem cells will likely be utilized in ways that may not be envisioned right now. With this in mind, the scientific community as a whole needs to hold researchers accountable in order to comply with the ethical principle of non-maleficence or do no harm to all involved. According to bioethicist, Sarah Chan of the Usher Institute of Population Health Sciences at the University of Edinburgh, the benefits of brain organoid research are many and the risks are few at this stage. But, per her account, “if we ever start using brain organoids directly in therapy, as a form of tissue transplantation, then we’ll have to think again about what the risks are.” Ultimately, I believe that with the evolving science involved in this research, we must ensure that ethical considerations and implications are maintained during the research process and match future scientific advancements.

      @@zerikogania665 I feel on top of the world. I feel at one with the universe. I feel at peace. I feel complete and full of joy. In a way my ego dissolves and I become one with the tasks I set. I focus on science a lot. It can make me lose track of time and friends which is an issue, but it also makes me learn really quickly and I remember everything I learnt really easily.
      I'm actually a high school drop out but I'm now in university. I knew nothing of basic biology before last year and now I'm a top student. I taught labs by the end of first year and I'm friends with all my lecturers and joined a research advisory board. It sounds like I'm showing off, which is kind of true, but I'm also trying to illustrate a point. This is due to my hyperfocus. Imagine the rabbit holes neurotypicals fall down on tiktok and other social media or binge watching Netflix but instead it is studying. I spent the entire summer holiday studying biology, chemistry and mathematics for neuroscience. To me, this is how I relax, how I feel safe. It's like an endless source of dopamine and energy.
