Organoids are largely homogenous lab-grown mini-organs.

So is it fair to call them human or is that just sensationalism in the article?

They are neurons derived and grown from human skin cells iirc, so, kinda?

It's because they're human cells, as opposed to being rat cells or something

I think the "largely" only refers to the homogeneous part. I hope it does
