Brain organoids have been around for a while. You can even rent their processing power.
They have issues, including a hard limit to their lifetime and growth potential. And the ethics involved shouldn’t be underestimated.
They can and have been wired up to animals and when they do- they start vascularizing and growing and influencing the organism they are attached to.
As an organoid, they probably lack the majority of things that would cause suffering- but we have used this “logic” to torture humans and animals in the past, so I am not fully convinced.
I am also extremely interested in what these organoids can eventually lead to- but we need to not judge based on clickbait articles and use actual science and ethics to proceed.
Point noted.
Yikes, glad we didn’t move there.
Congrats on following the USA to become a shithole country of corruption!
This is propaganda designed to make socialism/socialists look bad.
Why would they include political affiliation in the headline?
Why would they do so on a very salacious/rage bait style accusation?
Why would Democrats want to label anyone who uses the word socialist as morally bad? …..Maybe because the most popular politicians use it, and their MAGA-lite candidate Gavin is hated and despised for his blatant cruelty and corruption.
No. There is no justification for genocide. Full stop. But when both parties are all for it, one must make a choice. Voting third party is a choice for the right wing candidate; there is no logic to voting third party in our current system.
Biden was as much a killer and murderer as Trump; he just ostensibly did it within the law. It’s not an important distinction for morality- but it is politically.
Harris was too insecure and allowed herself to be hobbled by the conservative interests in her own party. Telling her to stop going after big business was the worst piece of advice she chose to accept, and she lacked the spine to be anything other than another Biden- but I voted for her anyway- there is no other logical choice.
The country needs AOC, Bernie, or even maybe Ro or Jasmine. But the big business interests of the Democratic Party are fighting against them and it is our job to fight those interests every bit as much as we fight Trump. Maybe even more.
The Democratic leadership has failed and kicking out Hogg was the last straw.
If the choice is between burning everything down and a slower burn- I’m taking the direct route.
Newsom will not get my vote under any circumstances. He is as craven and corrupt as Trump, only smarter -which means we all lose.
