I think the title is quite misleading. They would still end killed, just earlier.

- WhyOhWhyQ 2y agoI assume from the headline with this new way a conscious creature doesn't experience immense pain.
- probably_wrong 2y agoYou would be mistaken, though, because the article mentions that the current process is virtually painless due to how fast it is. There's also the debate on whether one-day-old chicks are conscious, but I don't know the literature enough to have a strong opinion.
- WhyOhWhyQ 2y agoMy comment said that the new process is painless and you say I am mistaken because the current process is virtually painless. Also, virtually painless doesn't sound like painless to me. It sounds like a nice thing to tell people to convince them grinding up conscious creatures has no negative aspect. "There's also the debate on whether one-day-old chicks are conscious, but I don't know the literature enough to have a strong opinion." Why comment if you admit you don't know what you're talking about? There's lots of debate over whether you are conscious. Does that meaning grinding you up is plausibly a nice thing to do?

- lern_too_spel 2y agoIn common usage, a chick is a young bird, especially newly hatched. An embryo isn't a young bird, and it especially isn't newly hatched. In practice, this doesn't matter to Christians, who believe that all non-human animals were put on Earth for man to do as he pleases with. https://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/bible.show/sVerseID/208/eVerseID/209 https://www.bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/bible.show/s...
- Reubend 2y agoI was going to start disagreeing with you, but then I read your link, and you're pretty much right. > The fear and dread of you will fall on all the beasts of the earth, and on all the birds in the sky, on every creature that moves along the ground, and on all the fish in the sea; they are given into your hands.
