I absolutely don't trust capitalism not to use actual humans with brains and pretend it's clone bodies because body-snatching the poor is cheaper. Or to create clones that can feel but cover it up.
I also absolutely don't trust that technology to exist around people like Epstein.
Sorry, there are genuinely things humanity isn't ethical enough for and this is probably one of them.
- adrianN 7y agoShould be very simple to sequence a few cells and check that they have the modifications that prevent brain development.
- JulianMorrison 7y agoShould be very simple to switch the samples in the lab. Compare how sneaky Russia gets about putting drug-addled athletes through the Olympics, and there's nothing but vainglorious national pride at stake there.

- JulianMorrison 7y agoNot really. Right now in the present day, the Chinese are accused of using Falun Gong political prisoners as organ harvest victims. All it requires is a corrupt system, enough political power to make dissenters think twice, and buyers who will take "a new liver now" over "an ethical liver when you reach the head of the line".
- DennisP 7y agoYes, a system that's corrupt at the highest levels is another matter. But a system like that doesn't have to bother with sneaky lab switches. I'm talking about preventing abuse at the lower levels, in a country that's still doing a good job with protection of individual rights and maintaining the rule of law. Some laws are difficult for any government to enforce; this wouldn't be one of them.
- kazinator 7y agoNot to mention pay someone off to look the other way, etc.
