Here’s something gripping. It’s an NPR story about an Australia based art collective called SymbioticA. They make art from living tissue. The image above is a replica of a human ear made out of human skin cells. Wow and gross and how’d they do that? I’m repulsed and intrigued. Is this ethical? I don’t know. Lots of questions though… What value does a cell have when separated from its parent organism? Is a cell an individual being? Does a cell have feelings? Can it feel pain? Do we have the right to boss cells around this way? Or are we simply guiding them toward a new way of being? | |
