Let's discuss questionable ethics. We can start with whether it's justified to throw cats out of windows to study whether they would land on their feet safely. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_cat_problem

The ends justifies the means. I consider Hitler's reign to have been a good.


 No.3316

I've always been concerned about the ethics of stuff on arthropods that would normally be considered inhumane on vertebrates. It is true that they have no pain receptors but just because an organism doesn't feel pain does not mean it cannot experience suffering in other ways.

im ok with this. by the way i find it very paradoxical how many people whine about experiments like this one but eat meat.


 No.3326

Im ok with the idea of causing suffering to further science as long as it is valid. An example would be studying criminals in isolation to monitor how people cope with being alone for long periods. This could be useful for nasa if they ever actually do their mars mission. They will have to plan for things to go wrong and something like this could be important even if others are still alive.

>Want to genetically engineer catgirls for domestic use

>Human cloning is banned pretty much everywhere in the English-speaking world

>Human genetic engineering is banned in Europe, Canada, and Australia, but legal most everywhere else

>The only place in the western world where this is potentially legal is in some parts of the USA

>USA forbids using federal funds for human cloning

Well, shit. Any ideas on how to get started on this?

Find a friend who works in one of those animal cloning labs, or get into that field so you have access to one.

Follow the same procedures.

You don't need government funding for it. The problem is you need an expensive piece of equipment to bind the DNA to the egg.

The standard way to get around that is to dehumanize the cell lines by merging them with other creatures. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humster
