Poll: A Moral Dilemma

[SixWingedAsura]

I'll take the chicken! Why?

Because if I'm gonna be an ass, I'm gonna go all the way and laugh while the pig remains uneaten. Also, pigs don't talk so the whole point is moot.

Would the pig feel pain? The pig want's to be eaten but was modified to behave like that. It's like a person who was hypnotized to want to be shot in the face, you can shoot and make that person happy, but that doesn't remove the fact that you just shot someone in the face.

The chicken, although modified like the pig, it's just a pile of meat, it doesn't feel no pain since it has no brain. Eating it would be less cruel than eating the chicken we usually eat.

...eh, I don't really care to see animals alive before I have to eat them, it's very off-putting. Or maybe I'm just sensitive...

 

[Psiboom]

Give me Bacon or give me Chicken!

Or ya know, both. Feed a family or something like that.

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

The pig because I'm in a mood for pork.

I care not for the interests of the animal, either way they're going to be eaten, it depends entirely on what I'm in the mood for eating.

 

[Sojoez]

I would eat the pig. It wants to, why deprive him from its live long ambition?
As for the chicken. You just described a normal chicken.

Book: The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

I'd eat both, though i would wonder why they would modify a pig to talk.

also i can't stop clicking the spinning button as nothing is happening!

 

[cookieXkiller]

both, obviously. you order the chicken for yourself and the pork for the rest of the table/as many people as possible. or you get the pork and gift the chicken.
also, click my shiny new button. it made writing this living hell.

}
nooo .. you order the chicken wrapped in bacon
but i would choose neither and have a vege option atleast for once..

 

[Nudu]

That pig sounds really creepy.

 

[Zhukov]

The chicken.

I'm not eating anything that can talk, no matter how much it wants to be eaten.

 

[Porygon-2000]

Im going to have to say the chicken. Honestly, even if it wasn't GM I would still eat it. I do so enjoy a good schnitzel! And im not a big fan of any of the pig meats, anyway.

Also, hooray for literature!

 

[MindBullets]

Presumably, this restaurant you're referring to is located at the end of the universe?

I'd go with the chicken. The pig being sentient and actually talking to you would put me off eating it, regardless of how it feels about being eaten.

 

[smithy_2045]

I want both. I'm hungry.

So, imagine this as a situation. You walk into your favourite restaurant, sit down at the table and look at the menu. After looking at it for a while, the waiter comes over and tells you about the specials. One of them is a pig, genetically modified to want to be eaten. She is even trotted out in front of you, while she tells you her best cuts, her recommendations for how she should be eaten and her lifelong desire to be eaten. The other option on the specials is a genetically modified chicken, who was born to be brain dead. It feels no pain, has no emotion or feelings and only knows how to eat, sleep and drink. So, which choice would you pick?

PS: If anyone can name the book this is from, a virtual biscuit will be yours. And I might put up other dilemmas but let's see.

The pig, and it's from The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

 

[SenseOfTumour]

I'd have the chicken carefully and tastily prepared, then let the pig have it as his final meal, then it's roast pork time.

 

[themeteor]

I really like chicken but im not sure I like the idea of brainwashing them so I would either go somewhere else and get normal meat or get the veggie option *shudder*

 

[Curlythelock]

The pig of course; bacon, pork chops, ham, yes please.

 

[orangeban]

Well, I went for chicken, because I don't like pork. That was easy.

 

[GLo Jones]

It's eat the pig, as I prefer pork.

Who the fuck cares about their feelings?
