according to the article it’s a tiny smattering of brain cells grown from stem cells derived from his blood, which he donated before he died specifically for this experiment. it is in no way conscious.
Henrietta Lacks hasn’t managed it yet. Look her up. It’s at least as bad as this if not more so.
“Yet” being the operative word here. There’s a disease in dogs that started in some very similar circumstances (although happening in nature rather than from a science accident). One slip-up from an immunocompromised tech with just the right genetic make-up and it begins.
The people who can’t understand how you know your own body better than they do are the same people who can’t see why kids love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. SMH
I hope to all holy fuck it’s not conscious.

It’s a few cerebral cells across a mesh-- I think achieving consciousness needs a bit more than that
Good thing nobody knows for sure!
The soul exists. Trust.
But I intend to find out!
ReBoot!!!
that takes me back.
Hey, let’s ask it!

Don’t worry too much, it’s not even part of his actual brain. It’s a bunch of random brain cells grown from a DNA sample.
If we could make new conscious lifeforms from this, Blade Runner would be a documentary already.
We’ll never know until it starts multiplying rapidly and breaks out of the lab.

Everyone dies. It must be cool if everyone does it.

Ah there’s a word for it.
I’m trans and I get a lot of fuckers using the “You’re a man if you’re born that way!” Card on me
They act like it’s so obvious and that I’m big dumb for not “getting it”
So I am relieved to see this
