RE: Humanized Pigs As Organ Donors

in #science5 years ago

Why do most of those organs fail? Because of cancer-inducing radiation from everything with a computer chip in it, disease-inducing food habits propagated by the media, long term effects of the lack of proper healthcare by governmental agencies supposed to invest in these sectors using tax money, industrial pollution, agriculture filled with toxic chemistry... The list goes on.

I do not believe the reason why organs fail is radiation from everything with a radiation chip in it. The reasons why we see more cancer compared to the past are way simpler. First off, we got much better at actually finding cancer. But mostly, the reason (IMHO) is the fact that people get to live through diseases that in the past would have been lethal.

Apart from obesity, I do not see a disease that would be promoted through the media - adds for - especially - fast foods are bad, yes, but otherwise we haven't even in the past been eating more healthier.

In terms of industrial pollution - yes obviously, we need to fix our ways there. I do not think there is a single person who would disagree that ideally, we need to take care of the environment.

And toxic chemistry in our foods? Some pesticides are toxic sure, but it all depends on a single fact - can you save more lives from starvation or from not using toxic pesticides. If the answer is more people would die if we didn't use them rather than more people would die if we used them - I would argue they do more good than bad.

These lives only need saving because of other pieces of technology known to cause harm. Other species suffering because of the damage we do to ourselves? That's stupid, specially when those sources of human-to-human damage only don't get dismantled because they are profitable.

There are plenty of other reasons than just other technologies causing harm. What about someone that gets, for example, stabbed? He might need a new lung or a new lung could make his life better. Or if I were to take out humans out of the equation altogether, how about a person who will get some kind of illness caused by a bacteria that will make his stomach be in constant pain - doesn't he deserve a transplant?

If the answer is more people would die

There are some really good answers, but they are not used because they're not profitable. That goes for food, pharma, pollution and harmful technology.

I do not believe the reason why organs fail

It is a fact, radiation causes cancer. It's not a matter of personal belief.

doesn't he deserve a transplant

From a willing human, only.

There are some really good answers

Most notably polyculture farming.

Diabetes, alcohol and food preservatives

I will give you that I forgot about those. Especially about diabetes. But I also do come from Europe and we do not put - by a gigantic amount - that much sugar into our food and drinks, that is why I forgot about that.

Alcohol, yeah it is addictive, but if drank in moderation it can actually have some positive effects. And that is coming from the country where the average citizen drinks over 200 l of beer per year.

About the radiation - there are different kinds of radiation. And each of them affects the human body differently. I haven't seen any scientific studies that would show that the types of radiation produced by everyday electronics severely harm the human body to a degree you are describing. And I do prefer to base my conclusions on scientific studies.

And lastly - transplants:

From a willing human only.
Why? We eat animals. We eat plants. We cultivate and change them based on what we humans as a civilization need. This just seems to me like another step in that direction. And honestly far less inhumane than for example some of the industrial slaughterhouses.

sugar into our food and drinks

Chocolate, candy, cake, desserts and sweets in general.

And I do prefer to base my conclusions on scientific studies

You should look some more up. It causes cancer over time. Will you get cancer from using a mobile phone for a year? Unlikely. Will you get cancer for being exposed to wifi waves, microwaves, mobile phones, computer chips, etc? Yes, although after several decades as their effects slowl build up.

less inhumane than for example some of the industrial slaughterhouses.

The experimentation itself isn't any less inhumane.

Why? We eat animals. We eat plants. We cultivate and change them based on what we humans as a civilization need.

  • Processed sugar is responsible for diabetes, kidney stones and esophagus cancer. It is present in everything from candy to chocolate.

  • Alcohol is a highly addictive substance responsible for organ failure, cirrhosis and at least six kinds of cancer.

  • Food preservatives can weaken heart tissues and cause cancer.

ps: I'm felipejoys
