I'd say it should be a requirement for human integration tech that the CEO has to be willing to get the first one launched. But then there will also be people like the Titan sub guy who care nothing for their life either.
There's no good way to deal with rich malignant narcissists that involves letting them stay rich, maybe
do you think elon musk is personally torturing monkeys for fun? this is a neurotechnology company, there will always be animal testing in this industry.
If you pay someone to do harm, it's still commonly considered that you have caused that harm. I don't see how this differs in real moral terms.
And I don't care whether it's legal, that has never been a moral basis for anything.
Are you aware how many medical breakthroughs have occurred because of animal testing? From cancer treatments, to HIV drugs, to vaccines, all would not be possible without testing on animals.
The issue is that they went to great lengths to cover up how many animals died in their testing, had no plans for long-term care after the testing that anyone can find or produce, and generally acted flagrantly against most every guideline of ethical animal testing in the civilized world.
Now lemmy is an expert on the ethics of animal testing. interesting.
Did you every see the Kids in the Hall movie Brain Candy? The big evil CEO runs a pharmaceutical company and he makes all of his employees eat copious amounts of the pill his company developed.
do you feel the same way about some Insulin, HIV medication, and some cancer treatments that all came to be because of animal testing?
