Random Thought #191

This really blew my mind but you've got to figure that this would eventually happen. There always seems to be an issue with testing new drugs and treatments either because of the lack of willingness in human testers, too many variable to control, or we test on rats (which isn't necessarily a good test for a human but its allowed. Now, we can create simulated body parts on a chip and test these new drugs and treatments with better results and less risk. We could even create our own simulated human body. This is just too cool
