Clones, reeeeee!

The structures do not have a beating heart or the beginnings of a brain, but include cells that would typically go on to form the placenta, yolk sac and the embryo itself.

There is no near-term prospect of the synthetic embryos being used clinically. It would be illegal to implant them into a patient’s womb, and it is not yet clear whether these structures have the potential to continue maturing beyond the earliest stages of development.

Clickbait title.

It would be illegal to implant them into a patient’s womb,

Illegal where? In the US? How about in China, North Korea, or Ukraine?

Cloning exists already since WWII. German scientists did it. They were keeping it secret.

The boys of Brazil is a great story, so I think the secret is out
