Should a human-pig chimera be treated as a person?

The ethical questions are mind boggling. The brain, and every part of the pig would be part human, and it’s conceivable that in some cases, the intelligence and instincts of the human element could dominate. These pig-human mutants could potentially think human thoughts or feel human feelings.
It all sounds well and good until pigs with human organs start talking to…and plotting against…their captors.

Meet Ripple: A tentacle-shaped wearable device for flirting

“Using two built-in cameras, the device monitors the environment around you, sending you a signal when someone’s gaze lingers on you.”

Someone’s? You of course mean EVERYONE, because you have this weird looking tentacle laden device sitting on your shoulder.

Disagreement Over Marijuana Danger As Hearing Opens

#News420 – Today in Hartford, lawmakers began debate on a Legalization Bill!

OK. If dangers of pot are your big concerns, then we should legalize it. Cannabis is so much safer than so many legally abused substances, it’s just hypocritical to keep it illegal, and discourages the few people who DO have a problem with it from getting help. I’m sure there’s some who will be ‘addicted’ to weed. Shit. Everything is addictive to somebody.
So, instead maybe we should make chocolate and coffee illegal too?
#CT just #LegalizeIt already.
