Human clones?

Human cloning, considered taboo for decades, will finally be permissible in an era where DNA engineering becomes the norm.

AI-driven breakthroughs in biotech should make it possible to produce cloned bodies for the purpose of organ, tissue, or body part harvesting.

The option of cloning a hand or an ear will be medically feasible and commercially viable. We will 3D print or grow organs from biological tissue. Whether created instantly on demand or preventively, the ability to order backup livers or a younger heart will be as normal as insurance.

Corporations focused on aesthetic enhancements will offer a universe of physical options to help people look closer to their digital avatars.

We should expect beauty brands to even acquire the rights to people’s traits, to produce and sell not just look-alike celebrity body parts but real DNA certified body parts.

Families will be able to design a new child, to resemble one that died in an accident or enhance and perpetuate traits they deem desirable.

Ultimately, the ethical and technical frontier will be the ability to clone back the dead. Whether it’s a loved one or our own future clone.
