soundwave Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 "..An electrode connector and electrodes are then glued on to the insect's body and a needle is used to poke a hole in their thorax in order to insert a wire. Their antennae are then cut and electrodes are inserted. A circuit is attached to their backs, and signals are received through a mobile phone app allowing users to control the cockroaches' movements to the left and to the right." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24455141 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoodie Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 i don't like cockroaches but i don't think it's right to be turning them into cyborgs. i hope people don't start making cyborg dogs and cats :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerWaschbar Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 It's a bit terrible, but also p good. Some of you were all Nancy Grace about Bronies and Furries being pedos (lol), but augmentation is maybe the greatest perversion we have. It's a kind of domination where the flesh itself submits (lush). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 cyborgs have the right to children? i guess many experiments we do "for science!" are based on some level of animal cruelty. that said, I winced when he snipped off his antennae didn't seem like it worked all that well?

soundwave Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 i they are really 'trying to get kids into neural science' then its a very unhealthy way of introducing the concept of animal welfare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodie Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 you know how you get kids into neuroscience? thought experiments. it gets them curious--they look for answers and see that there are many possibilities, so they are inspired to read more and more, maybe even get into research as a career. you don't get kids into neuroscience by mutilating cockroaches. fucking lol @ socially retarded people in academia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR4 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 disturbing but then again, I'm only a historian. Little experience do I have of societies in which the overall societal disregard for mutilation was overcome by scientific progression in the name of consumerism.

SR4 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 lol well I know you all feel p good being outraged and I'm very happy for that. outraged would not be the appropriate word. I'd prefer more something like "apprehensive acquiescence" or something like that.It's hard to be outraged by a standard established long before my birth.

Guest A/D Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I think insect diplomacy should be carried out with sticks, shoes, and general laissez-faire, not with mind-mangling techno-sorcery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke viia Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 parents aren't going to want an RC-cockroach in their homes, most kids aren't going to want to ice or stab them, and this can be of only seriously limited educational value, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
