Okay, let’s strap you into a chair and drill into your head against your will and then subject you to hours of tests only to realize it’s the wrong implant so we just have to kill you. Sound good?


Bud, these animals go to war with each other and tear each others faces off and get eaten alive by predators every day. This is hardly the worst thing to happen and its the only way to make progress in this area. They're also not trying to be cruel, its not some torture chamber.


It’s not? They’re recklessly messing up implants, forcing them to be killed. There’s no benefit to that, only needless suffering and death.

Humans go to war with each other and use nuclear weapons, does that mean murder, torture or human testing (in the form of implants against your will) are okay? You argument falls entirely apart on that one simple premise.


Human life is worth more than monkey life. It's not pleasant to say but it's the way our society works.


yes the human ubermench must rule over the savages as is his right as the greatest wielder of violence. Not familiar to ideology that we experience to bunch of in the 30s and 40s at all....


You have just described Genesis in Bible.


Humans decide that humans are worth inherently more than other life forms. Okay.. why do we get to decide? Why do we rule this massive universe?

You’re making a statement of morality as a statement of fact, it’s absurd.
