Imagine seeing your dead relative reanimated as a robot so that scientists could study you ๐Ÿ—ฟ

iirc this was a major concern for face transplants. Person A gets horribly burned; person B dies; A gets B's face; B's mom sees A walking around with B's face and has an existential crisis.

And where's person C in all this? Are we just going to ignore them, as always?

[โ€“] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago

You're right, we never C him mentioned

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Person C only exists within the crisis.

Person C may or may not exist, at any given time.

Person C also needs a new face; we have the means to get C the care they need, but insurance says 'no'. C is becoming radicalized.

Person C needs to wait until person A dies

I mean, animals (birds too) def have grieving rituals ("funerals") and emotional suffering caused by loss of a close one.

Seeing a reanimated corpse of that same individual would fuck beyond uncanny-valley anyone.

And even without knowing the individual prior to assimilation, there is no way birds don't recognise it as something different.
It just isn't physically harming them & won't go away - what are they supposed to do?
