OPEN SESSION

Framing Questions for Meeting Discussions:
  • How would researchers define or identify enhanced or human awareness in a chimeric animal?
  • Do research animals with enhanced capabilities require different treatment compared to typical animal models? What are appropriate disposal mechanisms for such models?
  • How large or complex would the ex vivo brain organoids need to be to attain enhanced or human awareness?
