Scientists Put a Human Intelligence Gene into a Monkey
- perl4ever 7y agoI wish people would spell out their "ethical concerns". It makes sense me to question the idea of making monkeys with human-like intelligence just to experiment on. Is that any better than torturing humans? But it seems like that is not the concern of Walker. If it was, then she wouldn't bring up the idea of enhancing human intelligence as though it were wrong in the same way. To me, ethics involves some sort of framework for deciding what is moral. Saying "... is ethically dubious" is a conclusion, but where is the argument and what is its basis?
- shard972 7y agoWait, i thought there was no such things as inteligence genes as inteligence wasn't a genetic trait?
