These are conscious beings. Imagine being trapped in a lab where the next time you wake up you might not have full motor function?
That poor animal displayed fear of the humans that tortured her. How could anyone defend this. I get it, implants are super cool in sci-fi but jesus christ. If they have to be researched this way then they shouldn’t be researched. And if they don’t then this is just profit motivated medical torture. Horrifying.
Don’t worry, in a few years, it’ll be humans who can barely make rent on their coffin apartments.
That’s heartbreaking. Imagine being trapped in a experimentation room with no escape. Everday’s just hell.
i hate that i can read this
You can always switch your phone to airplane mode.
I question the humanity of anyone who can read that and not be upset.
Sentient, maybe some limited level of sapience, but not conscious as far as we understand the term
‘I don’t understand so it doesn’t exist’
I literally said “as far as we understand the term.” We as humans and as we define the term. They do not have consciousness based on what we currently know, and there’s very little evidence that they do based on what experiments we are able to conduct. I’m not saying they unequivocally don’t, all I’m saying is as we currently understand the term they do not.
