You will never get human trials for anything that hasn’t passed animal testing until we have lab grown human organs/organ systems, but that is a ways out and also somewhat controversial. Coning partial people or parts of people needs a lot of safeguards.
Curious if you’re thinking of any cases where we’d need a safeguard for any parts of the body other than the brain? Like would a whole human minus the brain be OK?
I guess there’s the whole identity theft and impersonation side of things.

The main concerns I see are if it is actually only individual organs, and things like your rights to your own genetic code/cell lines.
I could easily see some corporation buying someone’s intellectual property rights to their genetic code. I do recall a Supreme Court case where a company patented DNA.
