I vote we breed animals to be happy under these conditions. Or is that baby-eating?
Hmmm.
If you're going to do that, why not skip the animals entirely and raise vat meat? Neither happy or sad, but much more cost effective.
not really, the rpoblem with baby eating was the babies were NOT happy
No, I think there's a parallel there. The solution in the story was to reduce the babies to chemical reactions, so they weren't aware, and couldn't suffer; that doesn't really lessen the horror implicit in the solution.
Apparently sleep deprivation is making me -more- insightful than normal. I'm going to have to give vegetarianism/veganism more thought. Right on the heels of a huge insight into privilege arguments, which I'm considering writing up.
