Hey, let’s ask it!
according to the article it’s a tiny smattering of brain cells grown from stem cells derived from his blood, which he donated before he died specifically for this experiment. it is in no way conscious.
We’ll never know until it starts multiplying rapidly and breaks out of the lab.
Why? Being dead is not cool.
