Abramelin Posted June 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I think ethics have nothing or not much to do with scientific progress. We have advanced scientifically, despite the fact that knocking two flints together to create a spark could anger the 'gods'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted June 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I think 'ethics' is a thing grown from religion. If we dabble on the grounds formally preserved for those we call 'God' or 'gods', those gawds will get jealous and will set us straight. But I doubt there is a gawd or gods, so ethics is just a way to procrastinate progress, to think things over for the x-th time. And after we have all thought it over, the experiment will take place anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freez1 Posted June 30, 2022 #6 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) I’m all for it let the good times roll! I wonder what dependencies lab grown brain cells will acquire? Nothing like a computer chip hooked on Nicotine or worse! Edited June 30, 2022 by Freez1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autistocrates Posted June 30, 2022 #7 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Methinks, ethics is a secondary worry, when scientists dabble into these Humanoid realms. What they're doing is to get closer at opening a Pandora's Box of which they will not be able to shut. Unfortunately, it will be innocent persons who will be liable to suffer the aftermath of such experimentation, instead of the creators themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC1701 Posted July 2, 2022 #8 Share Posted July 2, 2022 History has taught that there is a lot of malicious code in human brain cells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+joc Posted July 4, 2022 #10 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Quote A journalist asks: "What technological advance allowed such huge performance gains?" The chief executive replies: "We created a new biological chip using lab-grown human neurons. These biological chips are better than silicon chips because they can change their internal structure, adapting to a user's usage pattern and leading to huge gains in efficiency." This is just so much Sci-Fi hogwash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
