It took DeepMind 10 years to model the folding of all human proteins. The number of molecules it can model in molecular interactions is also limited. We are far from accurately modeling a single human cell, or even a protein complex. Modeling a whole human is one of the most ambitious projects. We will see how it goes…

If I found out I was made in a lab, I’d still feel grateful to be alive and I’d still be grateful for the love and support my parents have given me throughout my life, been appreciative of the friends who have helped me, and would still love to fish and ski and do the things I enjoy. Adopted children are happy and enjoy their lives, love their adopted parents etc. Adopted children often are curious about where they came from, specifically where their genes came from. If I was created in a lab using my parents genes I’d still feel a connection to my lineage. If I was created in a lab using engineered genes, I’d feel lost. Like an experiment or almost as if I’m a living accessory. But then again, if my genes were from my parents but altered to take away risk of diseases but everything else stayed the same, not so much. These are complicated issues and we should form our moral framework from the standpoint of the perspective of the humans who will be created in labs.

In vitro gametogenesis (IVG) stands at the frontier of reproductive science, where biology and technology converge to redefine the possibilities of human life. It challenges the boundaries of nature, offering hope to those facing infertility while raising profound questions about the ethics of creation. As we push the limits of science, IVG compels us to reconsider what it means to be human and to procreate.

[@dylon2932]

A copy of you is not you. It’s a copy. Your copy would be immortal. Not you.

[@brianmi40]

That's why cellular reprogramming is the real thing coming that will seriously extend lifespan. It's lab demonstrated as working and they just need to test for sideeffects and delivery. First cases are currently expected to be dogs for full lifespan extension, and targeting human eyes for first human application. What's not clear is how many times can we do it, potentially endlessly, reaching escape velocity for aging.

[@foobar-xh5gs]

ai behind the copy would be immortal, copy would just be part.

[@EE-UR]

We don’t know what would happen if we replaced every Neuron in our brain with a transistor. It’s possible that we would become fully digital while remaining “conscious” Who knows if this will ever be possible though as the brain has way too many neurons lol

[@SomeOne-b2k]

But if it would be an exact copy of your brain at 1 moment, that copy would say its the original with 100% certainty because it feels so, and would have all the memories of its past life from birth to the moment of copy. Its just as with relativity, you can never say which observer is moving, observer 1 says observer 2 is moving, and observer 2 says that observer 1 is moving, both are right.

[@notyetnotnowyouknow]

Yeah, and these ideas and technologies aren't recent they are old ideas and slow progress but I doubt it will escape the lab

[@zachlerdahl8115]

You know, I read about IVG a year ago, and they did what they are talking about in a primate experiment where they took a skin cell, reverted it back to a stem cell and them turned it into a reproductive cell. And it worked. But there was a major problem, the offspring aged SEVERAL times faster. It was somewhere along the lines of a teenager having the physical age of a 60 year old.

[@jmunkki]

The path to human immortality as a digital being is a slow transition from a fully biological being to a cyborg and finally to a digital entity. Our cells evolve, die and reproduce our whole lives, so by the time we are adults, not much of the original baby or 5-year old exists anymore. Similarly, there is a transition path where we start to augment our brains by interfacing with artificial parts. If you do this very gradually, there's a continuity from the biological human to the artificial one just as there is a continuity from a baby to an adult. As parts of the biological brain & body fail or cease to be relevant, artificial parts will do their work (hopefully relatively seamlesssly). I think this "Ship of Theseus" is the least problematic path to immortality (for those who are willing to take that path). If the resulting artificial being can be paused & snapshotted, then we enter a complicated era where we have to deal with multiple copies of the same entity that was originally a single human. If someone makes a neural network that behaves just like I do and then kills me, I see that as death. If I evolve from a living being to an artificial one, I think it may be something other than death, if there is a continuity of consciousness. I see it as an acceptable and interesting alternavite to dying, but it's probably not something I would be in a rush to do (at least not based on what we know right now).

Emily Chang [<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="234">3:54</a>], "If IVG becomes viable in humans, it paves the way for a future where infertile couples could have children with their own DNA." Me: Passing on infertile genes to the next generation is an evolutionary bad idea. That generation due to inheriting the infertile genes will thus have to rely on the expensive IVG technology just to have babies of their own. This will be a curse in disguise. This however will be great for the business that offers the technology, since they will be producing potential future reoccurring clients.
