| Mar 16, 2016 at 18:20 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I tried to avoid referencing ethical treatment of "recreated non-self-aware hominids" in my question text (would we put them on a reservation, keep them as pets/slaves, etc.?) But perhaps my view of self-awareness isn't univerally shared (I don't think there's any real comparison between what goes on between the ears of the smartest non-human and the dumbest (non-defective) human being). | |
