> Consent
Which we could likely easily engineer into whatever system eventually exists, once that point is reached. I doubt anyone who makes such a thing would intentionally engineer it to NOT consent to their experimentation.
> Consent plus the ability to reset
For a hypothetical example: If I said I would perform <some psychological experiment> on you, but it's okay because I can force consent into you and then perfectly reset your brain and body back to how they were pre-experiment, would you still be okay with it? This may be a bit of an extreme way of looking at it, but the ethical concerns matter.
- randallsquared 3y agoIf you use force to obtain “consent”, then I would argue that it isn’t ethical and maybe that it’s a contradiction in terms. If you know how to create a person who would be enthusiastic about consenting, doing that doesn’t seem unethical. For example, after someone chooses to consent, copying them — I would argue that this is just creating a consenting participant, and not unethical (where that person is concerned).
