Bryan Johnson said in an X post on July 22 that he had “cloned” himself “as a newborn,” adding that “baby-bryan” now lives in a petri dish and could be used to test therapies, grow organs for transplantation, develop new treatments, and supply “young cells.” The claim spread quickly and drew backlash, but the more important issue raised by scientists was that Johnson was not describing human cloning in the Dolly-the-sheep sense. According to the account cited in the source report, he was referring to induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPSCs, a method that reprograms blood cells with four transcription factors — Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and cMyc — into a stem-cell-like state. That process does not require an egg and does not create an embryo. The dish, critics said, contains reprogrammed cells, not a newborn. The report also notes that Johnson disclosed no operating institution, no technical documentation, no third-party verification, and no peer-reviewed record. While iPSCs are already used in disease models and drug screening, growing fully transplantable organs remains one of the hardest unresolved problems in regenerative medicine.

A Buenos Aires court has ordered a nationwide ban on Polymarket, labeling it an unauthorized gambling operation. Regulators directed ENACOM to enforce the block and asked Google and Apple to remove the app, citing consumer risks and suspicious market manipulation.

India's Ministry of Electronics and IT ordered ISPs to block Polymarket, classifying it as prohibited online money gaming. Sources say Kalshi may face similar action soon. India uses the 2025 Gaming Act, shadow ban tactics, and 30% crypto tax to curb capital outflows. Global regulatory pressure mounts.

Polymarket said it plans to challenge a nationwide website block imposed in France after the country’s gambling regulator, the Autorité Nationale des Jeux (ANJ), ordered internet service providers to restrict access to the platform. The company said it regretted the decision and argued that it had already stopped offering trading functions to users in France in November 2024. Even so, French authorities concluded the site was still making unauthorized gambling products available because it continued to display market odds and prediction data to the public. According to Polymarket, the site has been limited to informational access for French users since the trading halt, and many visitors do not come to trade or place bets. The company said a full website block is disproportionate because it also affects non-transactional users seeking information. Polymarket added that it would pursue legal remedies and stay in contact with prosecutors in an effort to find a path to operate within the law. The dispute turns on how the platform is classified. Polymarket describes itself as a blockchain-based financial platform using a peer-to-peer structure in which prices are set by supply and demand among participants. It says it does not set odds, hold positions in markets, or profit from outcomes. France, however, still treats that model as unlicensed illegal gambling. The move comes as several countries tighten scrutiny of decentralized prediction markets.
