  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.

  Animal 15 began to lose coordination, and staff observed that she would shake uncontrollably when she saw lab workers.

  Sentient, maybe some limited level of sapience, but not conscious as far as we understand the term

    And who are you to make this decision? Can I make that decision about you and use you for experiments?

      I literally said “as far as we understand the term.” Sentience, sapience, and consciousness are not interchangable terms, they have vastly different meanings.

      I literally said “as far as we understand the term.” We as humans and as we define the term, they do not based on what we currently know.
