Hope for FR’s liberals.
I’ve seen this; The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, 1962
Great fight scene between two prostitutes. Way inappropriate for the child I was when I saw it.
This thread will be rich!
Frankenstein is here.
A fully functioning human brain, created just for experimentation. That means that the brain is aware, just like the brain in a 5 week old fetus makes that fetus aware. That is ghastly.
In the 20th century, immoral scientists who conducted horrific experiments caused moral people to respond by creating the field of scientific ethics. It looks like the field of bioethics is due for a sea-change, because there is nothing ethical about creating feeling and aware persons for the explicit purpose of conducting research on them.
Science itself is completely devoid of morals and ethics—like any other academic discipline, it is only a tool for advancement of knowledge. Any ethics or morals associated with the study of science are brought there by the researchers involved. We must never forget that just because something *can* be done, does not mean it *should* be done.
Give it to him.
Hm, I wonder what the brain thinks about this.
"I will not play in God's domain."
The problem with this research is that because we know of the sale of fetal body parts, there’s doubt as to whether it was really created from adult stem cells from scratch or a fetal brain developed to a greater point.
