this should definitely be illegal wtf
A German guy (Helmut Kentler) was allowed by his government to rehouse orphans with known pedophiles to encourage what he claimed would be sexually fulfilling relationships(????) for both "participants".
The European brainpan that would allow that wouldn't even flinch at this so I'm not at all surprised.
what the FUCK
he justified his program to the senate with cw ableism

"These people only endured these moronic boys because they were in love and infatuated with them."
Imagine being considered so unlovable as a child by your government that they willingly hand you off to pedophiles. DEATH TO GERMANY.
"The benefits are obvious, though some misguided species may view the transmutation of individuals into computing chips as morally questionable."
The only way I could see this being ethical is if they know for sure these lumps of neurons aren't conscious, which I don't think you can really claim with any certainty right now.
could be ok, too bad it's done by capitalists; remember, in the west the prevailing attitude to stuff like stem research is also "ew gross" and china is beating our ass in that area
there is no fucking way this would be ethical. we still don't know how consciousness even works so this could be creating beings, tormenting them, and then killing them hundreds of times a second for all we know. i think your average Chinese scientist would be disgusted that you'd even imply they would do this kind of thing. I am not approaching this from the perspective that technology is scary because I don't know what it is- I'm approaching from the perspective that this technology is scary because nobody knows what it is.
less because of China Bad propaganda and mostly because people like Elon Musk suck and people are realizing it. Also as someone who used to want to go into stem it IS gross, at least capitalist stem is, which is the only kind US citizens are exposed to. You don't understand the depravity of US Stem until you take an engineering class and they start cheerfully talking about Lockheed-Martin.
this is some "cannibalism is ok because anti-cannibalism was spread by colonial England" level take. i'm sorry, i don't mean to be harsh, its just wild to me
