I mean if they made human monkey hybrids, my first thought wouldn't be "let's harvest their organs" -- it'd be "oh shit let's chill"

[@grivza]

But researchers didn't wake up one day and thought to themselves "that's cool, lets do it"; they have a goal in mind... Well, maybe they did, but they also need a way to convince people to fund their experiments.

I mean, it is scary to experiment on animals and causing this amount of suffering. But also, the meat industry already kills so many animals in horrific ways and I don’t really care about that, so why should this be any different? After all, it serves humanity even more. Pausing research on something promising is a sure fire way to fall behind adversaries who do not have such moral hangups, just look at the EU’s tech scene compared to Silicon Valley.

I really like the Video, i dont understand the hate about ethics, if we dont do research we would never get better, it seems similar to me to automation in the workplace, but in the end we know it is going to happen, and i rather let it be research by some credible scientists than some made ones.

[@facelessdrone]

Conflicting body horror on innocent, creatures seems like progress to you? Instead of focusing on ethical ways to grow organs like 3d printing, etc.? You think its okay to give birth to a creature and immediately murder it to steal its organs for use in a human when we could literally go about this a million other more ethical ways that are also currently being researched? Literally the only reason this shit is being funded is so governments can do nefarious shit eith it later. The disguise of organ transplants isn't real, thats not their goal, thats what they tell people like you so you'll consider it an actual ethical question and debate instead of a horror show.

[@elio7610]

Are these "credible scientists" really any better than the "mad ones"? These essentially are just the "mad scientists" just with official funding. I agree that biological experiments like this are just as unstoppable as the automation of industry and we can't entirely stop it as long as our society keeps progressing but that does not entirely discredit the ethical concerns and the exact way in which this stuff is handled and used is important.

[@sevanaiaseeto9456]

Ethics exist for a reason. We don't want to create human consciousness in non-human bodies that only exist for brutal experiments. Imagine being born into this world with a human-level consciousness just so you can be a disposable lab animal. That is an abhorent result that can easily be produced if we're not careful with embryological studies. Also, as stated in this video, plenty of human embryonic samples have/are being obtained through unethical means by governments that prey on marginalized people. We don't want to endorse these disgusting practices, so ethical regulations must be set/maintained.

[@yun-z]

most people are just very empathetic, i think part human is fine as long as the chimera does not show high intellect, but when we do brain research that will have to change in some way.

[@dbrandeau]

Because it's wrong to treat sentient beings as insentient things for one's own benefit. It's unethical, even if people don't want to accept it is due to their self-serving bias.

[@Crisjola]

It’s almost like scientists A) aren’t taking FMA as a proper warning and B) “Were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.” I would continue to be smarmy about it but considering I can’t find _anywhere_ where anyone is bothering to apply the Three Laws of Robotics to AI, I think I’ll just be sad instead.

Nephilim are children of humans and angels(or daughter of Cain and son of Set, but that’s probably not what’s being discussed) Where are we getting angel dna. Actual question, angel dna would be quite valuable for research purposes and seeing how they work, maybe even reverse engineering them. It would be wasted on making nephilim compared to just making an angel. Could be like mammoths where we don’t have all the dna so we just put it in their closest relative, still wouldn’t make sense to make a nephilim instead of a monkey-angel or a snake-angel(see seraphim, burning ones, could also be burning snakes).

Hi Ihm Curious, love ur content, I think you’d have more views and success on KZbin if you made better thumbnails. On KZbin the thumbnail is just as important as the content. You should sensationalize the thumbnail and increase visual clarity. A lot of clutter on the current one.

[@ihmcurious]

I always have trouble narrowing it down. Can you make me one? If it boosts views I'll give you free Patreon stuff

[@elio7610]

​@@ihmcuriousThe thumbnail here is too much of a collection of images rather than a unified whole and the colors clash a lot while also blending together when viewed from a distance as they spread all around the image. The thumbnail needs to stand out amongst an ocean of other video thumbnails, focus on a single big thing you want people to lay their eyes on as they browse the sea and then add details that compliment that visage to tease the viewer of the depths within. In terms of getting people to click, just think about what people are trained to click: Buttons. Making a thumbnail look more like a button will tempt people into pressing it. Various details like adding a border around the thumbnail may increase the buttonousness of the image. Consider the style you are aiming for and what does and does not fit that style. "Glowing Hybrid Monkey Brain" is perhaps a little too long and confusing of a phrase, something simpler like "Glowing Brain" or "Chimera Monkey" conveys something easier to imagine and potentially more enticing as a result. Sometimes the best way to lure attention is to simply do what others are not.
