I just learned the correct name is morula :) . And this method would
actually be
less vile than growing a body to harvest the organs from. A morula is
just a cluster
of individual and identical cells, and normally has a microscopic size.
Only in the next
stage of the embryo's development (gastrula) is that tissue formation
starts. One could manipulate
the initial egg (or take a cell from a normal morula, more or less the
same thing.),
making the morula grow to a macroscopic size, and "freeze" it's
development just before
tissue diferentiation starts. So when they needed bioware, they
instructed a portion
of the morula to diferentiate and form the bioware tissue.
For the cultured version, and for cloned organs, it would be
necessary to get a cell
sample from the subject and to do the same thing they did to make Dolly
(the cloned sheep),
combined with the M2 (macroscopic morula -- TM :) ) process.
This could possibilitate the "growth" of several bioware/organs in
the same "M2 Construct",
making a kind of gross sight (this huge sphere with several arms and
kidneys and adrenal pumps
growing from it...)
