Sadly, humans don't have chloroplasts.

unironically it's pretty strange that i've never even heard of people trying to rectify this, surely someone has tried plonking some choloplasts in a skin cell culture and seeing how it goes?

Funding is probably the issue.

you don't need any funding beyond standard lab equipment to do this, from what i know it'd be a pretty standard setup

it's just strange i've not heard about it, like someone must have done it and i should have learnt about it via cultural osmosis

I really wish we could photosynthesize. I hate having to poop.

It takes so much time out of the day. It's boring.

Eh, it can work with artificial light. I'll just convert my gaming room to a grow house.
