   I wonder if Dmitry considered a syncing tool like MobiusSync or Syncthing to copy the pictures to a PC continuously after they are taken.

    We may be talking past each other and I don't follow the part about euthanasia you lay out at all. My point is that it would be vastly more cruel to turn a frog into a human, let them live a little and then abandon them to fend for the
