Because it requires medical experimentation on human beings who can’t consent to it. Is it really so difficult to understand why that’s wrong?

  If a few dozen or even thousand suffer to prevent the suffering of many millions or even billions in the long run, is that not a trade off one would have to make? It all comes down to the old debate of deontology vs utilitarianism

    It’s called an experiment because no one knows whether it will prevent the suffering of anyone at all. If you had to live your entire life with a painful deformity because someone experimented on your genes, do you think you’d find this argument convincing?

    I hope you’re first in line to be among the those who suffer.

      Fortunately that won't be necessary. Both of us are safe. The Chinese are doing the research for us. If they don't succeed they suffered and we are not impacted. If they do succeed, they suffered, get some food jobs and money and we likely get to benefit from most of the results. So we can have our cake and eat it to. Yay \O/
