A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Lab grown meat already exists. The same processes could easily make human meat without harming the human.

I'm fairly certain this will at some point lead to a social media fad of people trying, well, people. It seems like every possible stupid action has already been turned into one at this point https://eu.app.com/story/news/world/2024/03/07/what-is-tiktok-chroming-trend/72879475007/

Onlyfans creators already sell stuff like toenail clippings and bathwater https://kotaku.com/belle-delphine-onlyfans-paypal-pornhub-bath-water-1851491916

Wouldn't be difficult to imagine people buying meat made of their favourite creator. What they do with it is between them and their god.

The problem with cloning would also be that a clone of a human is a human with all rights and limitations, the "buddy" would be a slave.

Performing a lobotomy to a human sounds highly illegal in itself, but as far as I know are lobotomized humans still humans with all human rights.

Well, that's fair enough, but i think we already abandoned legality of the whole operation at the "growing entire human body" part

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I don't think that there is a legal issue with that, as long as only a lifeless body is grown

Good, then we're all agreed. I'm gonna fuck a corpse.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It is not a corpse it if was never alive.

The problem with a lifeless body is it will quickly decompose, so it has to have basic functions like breathing and blood pumping

No brain but a microcontroller to give the right electric signals to the lungs and heart.

It is a fascinating Gedankenexperiment, very creepy and dark but fascinating

[–] MHanak 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That could work, yes

Also i think the word you are looking for is thought experiment (unless german was a stylistic choice)

It was a stylistic choice 😎
