    Shielded by our thick skulls and swaddled in layers of protective tissue, the human brain is extremely difficult to observe in action. Luckily, scientists can use brain organoids - pencil eraser-sized masses of cells that function like human brains but aren’t part of an organism - to look closer. How do they do it? And is it ethical? Madeline Lancaster shares how to make a brain in a lab.
    Lesson by Madeline Lancaster, animation by Adam Wells.

      Right, Aristotle theory really help us to understand why we are human beings. I think the better way to put this is that what makes us living organisms because other organisms also has brains but their dependence with situations and capabilities make them different from us.
