Pretend the first in forever you got a job, as a Genetic engineer. You were given a task to create a developed human infant.
Do you think it would be immoral to give him the ability to feel emotional and physical pain?

>A semantic question involving ethics

Pretend the first in forever you got a homework assignment, in philosophy 101. You were given a task to creating an essay on genetics.

Do you think it would be immoral to give your essay question to a Chinese porn board?
>>
>>836877
So either a state of complete apathy to the senses and emotions or what we have now?

Or is this on the morality on genetic engineering?

Well considering how laughably unqualified I am to be a genetic engineer, my way of creating a developed human infant would involve pumping one into a receptive human female. Just like God intended.

If the child bitches about the fact that they feel pain I'll tell them to knock it off because nobody asked to be born and everybody is going to die, so they can deal with it like everybody else does.

If my task is to create a developed human, then yes they must be able to feel emotional and physical pain to be fully "developed."

This is different from inventing the concepts of emotional/physical pain when designing a universe, which is where the conversation is actually going to end up.

>>836877
pain is a necessary biological function to prevent harm from being done to the body
>>
>>836905
That's lewd.
>>
>>836877
Here's your reply

It would be immoral not to. Those are necessary biological features and are fundamental parts of being human

If they can't feel pain why would they fare about bodily damage
>>
>>837380
Because they could bleed out without realizing

women want to be able to be fucked without the consequences. so they demand free contraceptives and free abortions.
>>
>>837539
Youre a faggot
>>
>>837539
I'm sorry, but who doesn't want to fuck without consequences? By that logic, not only do baby daddies WANT to pay child support, but there exists no woman who wants children of her own free will.
>>
>>836877
with out ability to fell emotional and physical pain he would die for example at burn while cooking fried eggs.
>>
>>836918
Yes but why does it have to hurt so much? Would it not be just as useful as a sensation of damage but without the suffering?
>>
>>837610
How can you understand the urgency of the sensation without increasing the intensity?
>>
>>836877
That picture is not an elephant embryo. It;s human

How is this logic not flawed?
Just because there is no egg? In the future I'm pretty sure we could make babies out of stem cells or some shit if we wanted.

Pretend you're an engineer and you decide to fuck your wife and have a kid. Is it immoral that your child will feel pain? No. Does that count as creating a developed human infant? Yes. Ergo, creating a human infant which can feel pain is not immoral on a social scale, assuming societal standards align with themselves. QED.

What?

Wouldnt it already have the abilities if it were human? I mean unless it is physically and emotionally numb it can feel pain. So are you seriously asking if it were ethical to breed humans that are incapable of the sensation of touch or emotions? What do you even mean? There is no such thing as a person without emotions and even if what would be the advantage? Or are you asking if it were moral to breed humanoids that have been deprived of essential survival skills (yes not feeling pain may cause freezing to death and the likes)?
>him
Why specify the gender in a though experiment? Does it make a difference to you?

Also elephants are pretty based and due to their low population an elephant embryo is vastly more valuable than the local human equivalent. That even if we were just talking tusks.
