Sounds a bit like "The Island" movie from 2005.


Which in turn is a remake of Parts: The Clonus Horror (1979).


The first half was so similar that the owners of Parts got 7 figures in a settlement.


Interestingly, in "The Island" Dr. Merrick pitched investors on growing brainless clones, but actually kept the brains in, because it worked better (and gave him a labor supply).


I was about to post the same thing. Except here someone wants that minus brain? good luck. I recently saw someone watching The Island on the airplane recently and remembered being reasonably well entertained by that movie. Obi-wan was sure having fun riding a motorcycle in it.


Sedentary patients have tons of health trouble from lying in bed constantly, I'm not sure if its possible to grow a healthy human that doesn't move about.


Suspend them in vats of goopy stuff that they can float in, and keep the temperature stable by extracting heat to power robots to look after them.

Wait I saw a film like that once...


no trackpoint available :-(


Feel you mate


On my phone I pretty much use wego, as it has offline maps for free including navigation with public transport for many cities.
