Yeah, and I'm asking, do those experiences "count"?
If organs are going from comatose humans to better ones, and we've decided that people who aren't sensing don't deserve theirs, how about people who aren't communicating their senses? It seems like this principal can go cool places.
If we butchered some mass murderer we could save the lives of a few taxpayers with families that love them (there will be forms, and an adorableness quotient, and Love Weighting). All that the world would be out is the silent contemplation of the interior of a cell. Clearly a net gain, yeah?
So, are we stopping at "no sensing -> we jack your meats", or can we cook with gas?
I can't tell if you have a recommendation. If you have a model to suggest, please share it.
