o here's a quote. once your money starts to make you money. you see evetyhng money can buy in a diferent way. oh my!

[My Wife Hates CIV]

I can alfready see the brand name! and label.

HUMAN unlimited capabilities!

I should lock this in now. I should.

Just a reminder: at this point, human genetics + sentience = HUMAN, by any ethical system I am aware of. What you're describing is a form of slavery.

What if we take undifferentiated stem cells from a chimpanzee or Bonobo and then,
with a help of a well shaped growth matrix and ideal application of neural growth factors on it,
grow a brain that looks like a human brain (albeit having Chimpanzee/Bonobo-DNA) and also shows human level sentience and intelligence

[My Wife Hates CIV]

that that would be a lesser brand name HUMON.

If everyone did that the place might get a bit crowded.

fine

only the first worlders then, the affluent ones

[Sava]

yall worried about the potential human consciousness

nevermind the fact you are content with killing animals that are more intelligent and self aware than a goddamn baby

****ing hypocritical religious morons

buncha moral failures

The key word is "sentience"; from my perspective, enslavement of any human-level sentience and intelligence flies in the face of morality.

So, you would also see the use of sentient machinery as slavery (for example the Avatar of spaceship Andromeda ... or Marvin the robot in HhgttG ... or even C3PO and R2D2 in Star Wars)

In the final analysis, how could I not? This will be the defining ethical dilemma for the next age.

Do you want a tool, a servant, or a partner?

I want a plastic pal who is fun to be with

I think they call them "real dolls" ... and sentience would be a major flaw in the design ...

I think they call them "real dolls" ... and sentience would be a major flaw in the design ...

But only if my definition of fun isn´t discussing life, the universe and all the rest ...
as in this case the real dolls lack of communication skills might be a big drawback

[Sava]

anyone who likes discussing things really just likes to hear the sound of their own voice
