Maybe I'm not autistically analyzing this like other people in this thread. I just wanted to point out that the article mentioned taking young people's and putting it in old mice for better living. Currently the poor are exploited for cheap blood because many have no other option.
- ThrowawayP 6y ago> "autistically" I think many of us would appreciate it if you did not use autism as a negative label.
- 236dev 6y agoWhy not? Autistic people have a certain way of doing things, so it seems like a valid comparison to me
- saas_sam 6y agoI see where you are coming from. From my perspective, your view of poor people as being without agency such that their voluntary decisions in perhaps the most well-off country on earth, in the most well-off time in earth's history, the idea that said trade constitute "exploitation" is very telling of your internal beliefs about the poor. Perhaps you think they are too dumb to make informed choices. Perhaps you think there are droves of poor with no skills, no useful utility to provide to society, other than to sell their blood. I think this belief is ignorant at best (you ever been poor? I have) and morally abhorrent and classist at worst. But hey, maybe I'm just autistic.
