Abstract
This document reviews the main conceptual uncertainties pertaining to the ethical and scientific literature on organoid research. First, we highlight the importance and potentialities of a discussion of concepts before entering the ethical debate. Then we discuss briefly the concept of a hybrid—at the core of the HYBRIDA project—in relation with organoids and chimeras. Finally, we provide a list of conceptual distinctions that have been or will be mobilized to discuss the ontology of the entities generated in the course of organoid research, and we show how these concepts from philosophy, science and common sense can be applied to organoids in future discussions.
