MoI Release: Matsuo-Humanism Announces Synthetic Blood Production, Slams Bio-Rights Declaration
Held in the packed conference room of Matsuo-Humanism’s Capitol Cluster offices, COO Gary Hans and CSO Sara Hajj announced the completion of over sixteen years of research and practical experimentation on the project code named ‘Marrow Fruit.’ Marrow Fruit uses a highly genetically modified form of marrow tissue which creates large colonies similar to a slime mold; when stimulated with erthyropoietin the cells produce red blood cells, which is then centrifuged just as normal blood is to produce plasma and whole blood supplies, and is genetically identical to natural human blood.
While expensive to create the Marrow Fruit colonies, only a simple agar nutrient broth is required to sustain them, MH is confident that blood shortages in SeOCC will be a thing of the past. Furthermore, MH announced, with the full agreement of the Ministry of Technology and Ministry of Economics, that this technology will be made freely available to all nations and firms that request it, and colonies of Marrow Fruit will be donated on a need basis to nations experiencing shortages in blood supply.
COO Hans also took the opportunity to express his extreme displeasure on the passing of the Bio-Rights declaration by the United Nations.
Our representatives to the UN did the right thing by voting against it, simply because the resolution did not specify what a ‘person’ was. Already, two anti-cloning groups have filed objections with the MSA against cloning researched based on this resolution, arguing that cloned tissues is human tissue and because human testing is illegal, cloned tissue testing is illegal. Of course, without cloned tissue, Marrow Fruit could never have been completed, leaving us and the world with blood shortages across the medical sector. Is it worth the easily preventable deaths to stand up for the rights of a few cells? No, and I trust the MSA will make the right decision and reaffirm SeOCC’s devotion to humanitarian research for the betterment of life.
The two groups that filed objections with the MSA, SeOCC Right to Life Foundation and Association for Human Life, have mounted several prior legal attempts to ban cloning research in SeOCC, but have never had a victory in court. With the UN now seemingly backing a new definition for cloned ‘humans,’ this now brings the definition of ‘human’ back into the courts, which leaves the issue once again in the air.
