What was said

"They build tiny organoids on a petri dish, right? And get this, if you love animals, you too can love AI. Why? Because they got FDA approval to skip animal trials. Turns out we cured most diseases in mice. It's not that helpful."

Richard Socher says organoid-testing firm Parallel Bio has received FDA approval to skip animal trials, a claim that remains unverified. He argues lab-grown organoids can predict human drug responses and toxicity better than mouse models.
