The Biohacker's Brave New World Bryan Johnson, a 48 year old tech entrepreneur and self described biohacker, has unveiled his latest project: a "clone" of himself as a newborn baby created using induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology.
This development is not merely a bizarre stunt but rather a symptom of a broader trend in the pursuit of human enhancement and life extension.
The cloning process, pioneered by Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka in the 2000s, involves reprogramming cells from a blood sample to behave like embryonic stem cells.
