> We do not know whether the embryo models recently created from stem cells could give rise to living people or, thus far, even to living mice.

So it doesn't even work in mice... how about we get that working first. Then maybe grow chickens/cows for meat. Then write "revolutionize medicine" headlines.

Ethically sourced "spare" human bodies could revolutionize the market for unethically sourced "spare" human bodies ...

    Have the feeling that cheaper unethically sourced bodies would be the majority of the market, if ever usage of "spare" bodies were to happen.

    They already did this in conflict zones.

    It's funny how people strech the definition of things. But hey, if it worked for HD it shall work for everything.

That sounds like wishful thinking. Body that doesn't move just wastes away. People are imagining perfect bodies peacefully lying down but it would be more like a something between neurology ward and hospice.
