That’s because the meds have to be performed on live humans in clinical trials that “risk harm to patients” and “can take a decade or longer to complete.”
Only about 15% of those trials are actually successfully completed, the researchers said.

They also noted that medical students rely on people who opt to donate their bodies to science for necessary training in school.
At the end of the bizarre essay, the scientists made a desperate plea to start testing on rodents as soon as possible.
They said, “Until recently, the idea of making something like a bodyoid would have been relegated to the realms of science fiction and philosophical speculation.
“But now it is at least plausible – and possibly revolutionary. It is time for it to be explored.”
