Researchers at R3 Bio are working to speed up the transition away from animal testing in laboratories, thanks to their innovative “organ sacks.” This biotech firm, backed by some serious billionaire funding, is in the process of creating complete animal organ systems. They’ve already seen success with “headless” mouse technology, and primates are next on their list.
Per UNILAD, these “organ sacks,” which the R3 team actually prefers to call “bodyoids,” are designed without a brain. This means they lack consciousness and the ability to process pain, which are the very things that make animal testing and organ harvesting ethically problematic in the first place.
