Stem Cell-Derived Organoids, Embryoids, and Embryos: Advances in Organismic Development In Vitro Force Us to Re-Focus on Ethical and Legal Aspects of Model Choice

While research on stem cell-derived tissues and <i>organoids</i> is rapidly expanding, the technically related creation of complex <i>embryoids</i> has recently excited a vivid discussion since it raises ethical questions about individuation and the possible gain of viability...
