I am sure that this lack of clarity is akin to the whole stem cell controversy. It is not a consumption of babies but few can actually focus on the question or the issues.

Perhaps you misunderstand my intentions of posting this. This thread has nothing to do with stem cell research or its debate, and I do not liken stem cell research to "consumption of babies".


Peace.

what makes you want to post about eating babies anyway?
and why is stem cell terminology in the main post?
have you managed to mean something else? what?
can you put it a different way?

As I said, it doesn't have anything to do with stem cell research, really. Stem cell research was brought up because I realized that, if one were to eat babies for health reasons, it would essentially be the same reason for doing so, as well as the same tissue being used. Obviously there is some great deal of debate over stem cell research, but I doubt nearly any of the people for stem cell research would also approve of eating the same material in a baby milkshake, even though it is the same substance they would be using in laboratory processes, for the same basic application (using them for already living humans for health-based reasons).

If there is anyone who is all for stem cell research, they would not have any real arguement agansit eating babies in such a manner, for such a purpose. Any "moral" objection would be baseless, any other objection would also be an objection agansit stem cell research.

Stem cell research was mentioned because it is an already existing aspect of our reality that, noting there is a lot of heated objections to it, would, in essence, be no different than eating the same exact tissue derived from the very same circumstances for health benefits.

The whole original point was that the concept of eating babies is a bizarre thing to think about, and not only that, any objections we would have to what would be legitimate application of eating dead baby tissue ground up into foamy, strawberry-flavored milkshakes (the mother could perhaps donate the milk? ) would be baseless. Try and list some objections, it'll be fun. We already eat meat, and we are already using this tissue for the same basic applications anyways....

I know you didn't originally understand, but you don't have to get all huffy about it.


Peace.

One can source other means of nutrition while the invalid cant source another way of using his limbs for any thing else other then a pillow.

Indeed. However, what if it were discovered that only dead babies contained certain combinations of nutrients that are nowhere else to be found, and it isn't feasible to synthetically create these nutrients? Perhaps to cure a certain disease, or perhaps these nutrients assist in the development of the brain in a beneficial way that the brain would not develop that way on its own.

That loophole now slammed shut... I'm getting hungry.


Peace.

i would prescribe babyshakes but since I'm a vegi i myself would not drink them

Don't veggies eat eggs? How is a chicken fetus different from a human fetus? 

Do you, perchance, mean you are a vegan?

Then it could be researched what reactions in a fetus lead to the synthesis of those nutrients. It got the base materials from its mother, didn't it?

Jeez, way to ruin a certain hypothetical.

I guess if you can chopp up a wolf for your personal graphic statement, baby shakes are natural territory. meat is meat. squish

No wolves were harmed in the creation of that graphic, let me assure you. That is, unless Skorpivo kicked a pregnant wolf in the stomach when he made it, but that's his problem (as he would have been mauled ). The original picture that is derived from is of my Norwegian Elkhound, anyways.

On a serious note, cannibalism is bad, mmkay?(by which I simply mean it's unhealthy)

Is it as unhealthy if you are eating yourself? I wouldn't want to offend myself by not liking my own taste...



One of the most haunting dreams I've really ever had is, when I was in Norway, I had a dream of a fat baby, completely blue and frozen, sitting on a bread cutting board. The only thing about that, though, is that it almost prevented me from eating for awhile.

God, what a fucked up thread. I blame Paradigm for this, that fiend.


Peace.

Let's eat some babies!

Seriously, though, I don't know if there is still a media event over the stem-cell research thing, but let's put a twist on it.

Would it be "allright, man" if the same dead fetus tissue that would be used for stem-cell research was instead ground up into a milkshake and drank because of its supreme nutritional richness and healthiness (assuming that fetus tissue is indeed nutritious and healthy, perhaps it isn't). Perhaps it could be taken as a cure to a severe disease or something.

The point is that I am curious if the people who advocate stem-cell research would also advocate drinking babyshakes.


Perhaps too much ?


Peace.
