the idea that people should simply live and die naturally is becoming increasingly antiquated
>what society would ever produce decephalized humans when they could produce cephalized humans? a weak society that could not possibly adapt or grow.
The primary driving force behind growth and change in society (by proxy of individuals attempting to fulfill the power process) is competition. The conflict that causes this motivation is death- that is to say that the root reason why people do things is because they will eventually not be able to do things. In a society where no one has to compete in the "sexual marketplace", and no one dies within a reasonable lifespan, there largely is no reason to change or grow
>How? Going from killing conscious beings to not killing them anymore is the opposite of cruelty.
Is the alternative to this kidnapping people and harvesting their organs? No of course I don't support that. If you are suggesting that letting people die because they needed organs harvested in a gravely unethical manner is "killing". then yes, I do support that form of "killing" because it is so far removed from the actual meaning of killing that it no longer bears meaning.
Decephalized HN posters would be great for fascist dystopia.
If you can justify the creation of human cattle the purposes of masturbation, you are a monster. You are worse than hitler, because even hitler cared about german people. You would be complicit with "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" just for your own sexual amusement. and because you "LOVE SCIENCE" so much
>With thousands of brainless bodies kept alive on life support, you have test subjects for a limitless number of experiments that would have never been possible before. You also create a never-ending O negative blood supply and organ harvesting program.
what society would ever produce decephalized humans when they could produce cephalized humans? a weak society that could not possibly adapt or grow.
>It the case of decephalized animals, you also get cruelty free meat.
only if you redefine cruelty to mean "what happens when bad things happen right in front of you". If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears...
>And that's how you bootstrap the program and port it to the human model.
of course, it's really no surprise. why are farmers less intelligent than hunter-gatherers? the process of domestication is self-imprinting. I think vegetarians really do have a point- not one that has to do with the cruelty of animals on an individual level, but with the very nature of domestication of animals itself. because the slippery slope of husbandry is ALWAYS eugenics. and the morality applied to animals always gets applied to humans given enough time.
>There would be a lot of political pressure, but this would be a space-age jump in supporting fundamental biological research, supplying renewable body parts and tissues, and keeping us healthy and young.
>We need to do it.
>If I ever get Elon Musk money and power, I'm doing this instead of rockets.
of course WE need to do it right? for millions of years humans lived and were forced to accept death, but THIS is the generation that we need to change by creating unholy abominations of our own kind.
You are pathetically evil. I will patiently wait for you to die.
Let me tell you who you are:
"Many modern people, on the other hand, are disturbed by the prospect of physical deterioration and death, as is shown by the amount of effort they expend trying to maintain their physical condition, appearance and health. We argue that this is due to unfulfillment resulting from the fact that they have never put their physical powers to any practical use, have never gone through the power process using their bodies in a serious way. It is not the primitive man, who has used his body daily for practical purposes, who fears the deterioration of age, but the modern man, who has never had a practical use for his body beyond walking from his car to his house. It is the man whose need for the power process has been satisfied during his life who is best prepared to accept the end of that life."
