Advances in organoids and embryonic models pose no risk to personhood, expert argues

Advances in organoids and embryonic models of human development have the potential to prompt social and existential questions-;e.g., what defines human individuality? However, bioethicist Insoo Hyun of Harvard Medical School and the Museum of Science in Boston says that these models have the potential to strengthen rather than weaken the concept of human individuality when considered within the philosophical frameworks of "personhood" and sentience.
