Fringey Mini: I brain therefore I am

from Journey to the Fringe

In this mini we’re exploring the eerie frontier of neuroscience: lab-grown brain organoids that may be inching toward consciousness. As scientists warn that these tiny clumps of human neurons could soon feel pain—or even develop a rudimentary sense of self—we ask the big questions: What defines consciousness? Where does the soul begin, if it exists at all? From Petri dishes to philosophy, we dive into the murky space between biology and being, and whether we’re truly ready for what we might create.Like, Share, Follow or the Orcas will think you're a billionaire and sink your yachtSource: https://www.livescience.com/health/neuroscience/tiny-brains-grown-in-the-lab-could-become-conscious-and-feel-pain-and-were-not-ready
