The issue as an American is that I would much rather imagine a world where everyone has appropriate health coverage.

- Teever 3y agoAnd a world where all people innately have the ability to regenerate organs and limbs isn't the world you want to see?
- TaylorAlexander 3y agoYou are imagining a wonderful technological future where we can regrow limbs AND we still do not have universal health coverage. I think most of us like to imagine that by the time technology can regrow limbs, politics will have finally caught up to the rest of the developed world. Your better imagined future still includes people not having health coverage and for me that seems weird!
- Teever 3y agoYes. We currently live in a wonderful technological future where we can transplant organs AND we still do not have universal health coverage. The future will be very much the same, and material inequality will very likely increase in the near future. From a humanist perspective the best we can do is empower individuals with endogenous technology that minimizes their dependency on rent seekers and the innate ability to regenerate limbs and organs fits the bill nicely.
