“Scientists have grown an entity very close to a human embryo — without using sperm, eggs or a womb.
The embryo even released enough of the hormone pregnant women produce that turns a pregnancy test positive, resulting in a positive test result in the lab.
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel made the complete models of human embryos from stem cells generated in the lab after building on previous research where they had made mouse embryos.“

“The simulacrum of the human” creates another simulacrum of the human…

Yes, but other US Presidential candidates are also saying that they want to pull away from the Ukraine situation (thank God).
Is that the best the rotten “Conservative” Party can come up with, yet another attack on the sick and disabled etc? Yes, there are some fraudulent claims, but the vast majority are not fraudulent.

The confrontation has led to rising costs of living across the continent, runaway inflation and economic stagnation, and politically it is increasingly dividing the region.
As another winter approaches, European energy prices are rising again, exposing cracks in the economy once again. There is growing concern in Germany about the damage the conflict is doing to the country’s once well-oiled economic machine, partly dependent on cheap energy supplies from Russia.
