Genetic Engineering: Giving Animals Consciousness

So today might be a short talk about what would be the case if adoptions would ever go into effect. This would lie mostly towards if conventional household pets were chosen to be the recipients of a procedure to learn consciousness. Food What sort of family would a dog or cat or parrot be given to? Selection through government and scientific procedure would determine the ideal family. And chances are, the ideal  family would be those who have two parents and/or children all at a decent age who are well-cared for and responsible. So what considerations would this family have to have? First and foremost, diet considerations are part of any normal pet owning family. No chocolates, grapes, alcohol, and the usual suspects of food toxic to nonhuman animals. Additionally, the question comes up as to whether the family would incorporate the new member as an equal, or as a pet. And this is where you can of course, see serious confusion both for ourselves and these hypothetical families...

Very rarely do I present a post on which the post is more than not focused on the  animal's point of view. So then, obviously there is a unique was that any sentient animal would view us. But then, the question comes with: Should the higher powers that be make it possible to increase the exposure of the sentient animal, what would happen if the animal were to be exposed with members of their own species and how would that affect them? Views of Us Obviously at this point, if the publicity of the animals being sentient were widespread much time after the initial creation, they would already be in contact with us, and a sense of trust would be deeply ingrained between the human handlers that work with the animal, and the animal itself. Would the innate culture of the animal place emphasis on height? Obviously, normal animals receive information on physical cues given by other animals in place of spoken communication, so would the actions of a few unaware people denote signs of...

It's very possible that in the mark to create new sentient species can also grant them the ability to read, write, and perform arithmetic. In which case, more cerebral densifying needs to be done. Allow me to dispel some certain things about using only 10% of our brains. As far as we know, there are some individuals who, in certain cycles can activate 100% of their brain. Such an instance is what medical experts call a seizure. So then what happens in the event we decide to give animals the ability to read and write on top of speaking and coherently understanding spoken word? Should this be the case, major steps toward increased intellect, then this would mean a lot bigger girth of independence for any augmented species. Plausibility It would be natural to think that if an animal knows how to speak, then it would now how to read, and by extension, write. But given that humans should be proficient at writing. If that were really true, dyslexia wouldn't exist. So by that n...

Where would the impulse lie to spread awareness of a sentient animal? If you have been following my posts, you would know the awareness was widespread enough. Everyone knows. Everyone is cognizant of the experiments that lead to sentient animals being created. However, the depth of knowledge would most definitely be superficial. Somewhere along the lines of the fact there exists one, the lab or research facility that created it, and possibly the name of the scientists and researchers and the creature itself would be common knowledge. But what steps would the facility take to protect the creature in such travels? What would each conference be about, whether it's to an audience of research professionals, or a regular (and somewhat) exclusive public audience? Creature's Willingness Something that's become a common theme of this thought experiment is asking if the creature for its opinion on the matter. Strange but true. We are aware some animals and some individua...

Obviously with the new rise of a sentient species, it seems natural to want to move out from the narrow confines of the lab to more open spaces, what should be the considerations for living? Will it be outside or inside? Of course, I think the question depends on who we modify to be granted consciousness which you can already tell will be the subject of today's post. Of course, for this scenario, I'd be assuming there were more than one of a certain species that are indeed conscious animals. Right After the Cage With animal testing, for better or worse, the subject(s) are kept in clean cages where they can hope to anticipate tests that determine, and uphold the fact they are truly sentient. So then, the desire is going to arise to stay out of the cage and in an open environment. I think what is truly remarkable is if the request comes from the animals themselves, suiting the fact they can have distinct preferences and wants, and therefore, vocalize their desire to stay whe...

-A nation is truly divided when neither act of great Heroism nor deepest Tragedy can unify its citizens- What happens on the largely outside aspect of it. What sort of responses would the public and the opposition hold against the rise of new sentients. I already discussed how in the early days of the announcement of such a lab creation the world will instigate various hate groups under possibly religious pretenses or animal rights pretenses (ironic. they should read my blog) and how they can evolve. Social Media Obviously with the shared news being spread all over Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and the like, basic groups will rise up. Anti-GMO pages would be strengthened and opinions would grow polarized. But how far would we end up going? Peaceful and Loud Oftentimes within these movements, slanderous articles and news sites from internet news columns will be shared like wildfire. I can already see the headlines now: Scientists Intend to Replace Humans , Superhu...
