Have the convicts do the heavy lifting of establishing a colony. Then just wait them out. Once they're gone we can send the scientists. Then civilians.
Well with each country stockpiling nuclear weapons and world leaders acting like children I think it's a good idea to have a plan b in place for humanity.
consciousness is generated by the the brain... they wouldn't be people, just bodies. It would be the same as engineering a single organ. I would be all for it
They wouldn't want to eat each other, and they'd have no brain. I don't know how we would make a race of brainless humans even grow up in time for organ harvesting.

Shit.
Breed a bunch of emotionless humans, lacking any parts that create emotion.

@mathewg Anything missing it's brain isn't going to be alive much less having a soul. Brainless meaning missing that organ completely.
Inyourendo requesting to jump in where he has no business and enter the debate?
So would the brain be present just lacking function, or would the brain be completely absent?
Wel there is the problem. It cannot be completely absent, so it must be present but lacking function. That leaves the question; would this brain have a soul?
I think the ultimate problem would be producing a brain that only has the mechanical functions without the cognitive function. We haven't reached a point in neuroscience (I don't think) where we fully understand the complexities of the brain to produce a simple mechanical brain. Now, if we could genetically create a person who has no brain and keep them alive through a life support system (AI brain), that may be an option. People who are considered "brain dead" are kept alive without the use of a brain, and used for organ donation on the reg.
I think the trial and error would of getting a genetic non functioning brain would also be a little questionable.
I think stem cell 3D organ printing is promising. if we could print an entirely new body, and upload our brain into the new body that could be a way to continue life indefinitely. You could even have a legit sex change, without the surgery, penis enlargement, race change, become a cat.
Nobody could answer whether or not they would have "souls" because "souls" are a concept made up by superstitions... you can't expect them to make any sense
See: to have a soul is to have a brain, with experience from the world shaping it. You are soulless if you don't have a brain, as that is what creates your personality and thus your soul. Anyway they'd prolly die soon anyway lol
Lol please show me what "scientists" are "unraveling the mystery of souls." There's nothing to study... there's no physical evidence of "souls" whatsoever.
Better to just clone organs on demand. They would have the same MHC profile as the recipient so no need for lifelong drugs & the inevitable organ failure after a transplant. We need to find ways to speed up the cloning process for solid organs.
Downvote me all you want but there's a reason why India and Southeast Asia have a high import rate of people from rich countries looking for poor people who sell their kidney for pennies on the dollar.
Your conversation is interesting. I find nothing morally wrong with cloning organs or complete bodies without brains or with incomplete brains ( no cognitive function) for organ harvesting. But there already is eternal life through Jesus Christ and it comes complete with new perfect bodies. Before calling it a myth or whatever you should study the facts a bit more. The new testament of the Bible was written by eye witnesses and people who wrote down accounts of eye witnesses of the life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus. There is more evidence that a person by the name Jesus lived at the correct time in history and the correct area. And many other people talked about in The Bible did in fact live at the correct periods based on historical records outside The Bible. And since there were eye witness accounts in the Bible as to Jesus's resurrection it all backs each other up, that The Bible is indeed factual. Eye witness accounts never match in every detail. Cont.
Continued from previous post. Contemporary eye witness reports of accidents, robberies ect. that police take down always differ some and sometimes extremely by different witnesses of the same event. In fact if witnesses relate everything exactly the same, with many of the same words or phrases, the police often are suspicious that they are lying. Many Bible doubters often say that it has been translated so many times and into so many languages that they can't trust what it says. But contemporary Bibles such as the one I use have many scholars translate from the original manuscripts in the original languages with scholars checking the translations repeatedly. And for words or phrases that can mean more than one thing in the original they use context of surrounding passages and other passages of the same subject to get the correct meaning. And in my NIV Life Application study Bible if still in any doubt they include the less likely one in footnote on same page. So review your opinion.
The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer is a p. much children's novel but it makes a p. relevant point related to this issue.
Mainly, it serve to illustrate how that could go FUCKING HORRIBLY wrong.
Let's use aborted fetus parts...even stem cells...for repair of "genuine" humans...that is, people that we define as "real" people worth helping. If you object to using fetus parts and tissue, how on earth can you justify aborting them?
Also, let's harvest stray dogs and kittens for usable parts.
Just don't give them sentience.
Bitch tf is wrong with you
NOW it's a debate.
Breed a bunch of emotionless humans, lacking any parts that create emotion.
I'm ready to accept my debate trophy now.
So would the brain be present just lacking function, or would the brain be completely absent?
