Yes abortion has serious moral questions. In that case the brain is being grown inside another human body connected to another brain. That's a far different moral question than a brain being grown by itself in a lab. When my rights neg

Sounds like a sweeping generalization of 8.5M people. Is it possible that the scale number of people you have direct and meaningful relationships with feel more boring or money-hungry to you?

Why? If you create a conscious brain and leave it in a container, keeping it perpetually alive just to study it, that sounds pretty cruel. I'd imagine it would be like being in a conscious coma. Lack of social interaction is known to b

That would not sit well with me and would feel like an invasion of privacy. But if I have an account with an airline and purchase a ticket, I'd feel pleased if they tried to make a connection in an authentic and kind way by relating to

The author's point seems to be that yes, video games are addictive, but there's usually an underlying condition like anxiety or depression. I think the truth is probably in the middle. Video games, screen, sugar, etc. are all inhe

I don't think it takes long for word to spread. Once privacy is comprised your window of opportunity probably closes pretty quickly. Even a hint of government access to Swiss accounts probably sent all nefarious accounts somewhere else

As I get older, it's becoming clear how intertwined our morality is with our politics. And how that bleeds into business, sports, religion, etc. It's nice to think of aspects of life that should be free from politics, but in reali
