Last year, Monash University scientists created the "DishBrain" – a semi-biological computer chip with some 800,000 human and mouse brain cells lab-grown into its electrodes. Demonstrating something like sentience, it learned to play Pong within five minutes.
If abortion is banned because a cell cluster is human, this should be banned too
As if it ever was about the cluster of cells and not the oppression of others…
But now we can technologically enforce the oppression! Isn’t that great? You’ll be implanted with the birthwisher 4000 so you won’t even know, that you don’t want to carry the product of rape in your womb!
@neko @boem The fetus cluster has the potential of developing into a human, if left alone in the womb. A brain cell does not AFAIK.
It also has the potential of hurting the potential mother long-term.
@user224 Or growing up a genius. You never know.
The sperm in my balls could be the next Einstein. But I’m gonna beat my meat and cum in a tissue and there’s nothing you can do to stop me. Mwa ha ha ha!!!
@photonic_sorcerer Maybe. But you didn’t show that genius potential in your toot.
Oh, right, because we judge intelligence based on comments made on the internet. How could I have forgotten?
Also, this isn’t Mastodon. I’m proud to say I’ve never tooted in my life.
“Toot” is a silly word invented to make Mastodon seem like Twitter. However “tweet” is equally ridiculous.
We already have a word - “comment” - which is universally understood. Also has the added benefit of not being conceived by some Silicon Valley marketing genius.
