Nah man no bad sides at all. I mean who wants their kidneys to function right and honestly who cares about poor people? They're so poor and smelly.1337mokro said:So you would define it as not bad?Beffudled Sheep said:Let me pull up a dictionary so I can dictionary nazi you1337mokro said:Define Good.Beffudled Sheep said:As time progresses we will learn more and get a better grasp on the procedures the cost will go down. Ya know, like pretty much all other forms of human technology through history?1337mokro said:Oh of course not. We are going to test it on working class slubs whose only change at life is a new kidney!Comando96 said:That would be applicable if we were testing this treatment at the expense of scooping up random africans to test this on. We're not1337mokro said:Oh of course it's progress, but progress is not inherently good. See child labour through industrialization![]()
"Oh those dialysis machines, all those rich people will be able to afford one, after they have ruined their health, while the poor people will just die in the gutter of the street", they said once upon a time.1337mokro said:It's both good and bad. One it allows the rich a basically limitless supply of organs. Drank one liver to death? Take one out of the fridge and SLAP it on.
Simultaneously people in third world countries will still be stuck on dialysis machines.
Changes happens over time.1337mokro said:Universally good news would have been "Researchers invent way to grow kidneys for less than 5 pence per kidney".
This is the reality of our world at this time.
Within the knowlage of the above fact, which itself is not good... This is good news, not bad.
Eh actually they do. Sheikhs in Saudi Arabia have their own personal medical wards. They literally own medical equipment for their own personal use. Now I don't know of an example in America because there it basically involves walking into a private clinic and paying the bill so why even bother buying the machine?
Knowlage
Uhum... Sure it's good news... for the people that will be able to afford the treatment.
We invent something and it is rudimentary and only available to the rich and powerful. Time passes, we perfect it/get better at making it and price decreases as our methods become more efficient and economical.
And even if this were to only be available to the rich for a long while then think of it like this.
The more rich people that use these kidneys = the more normal kidneys available for non-rich people.
So even if this is only available to the rich more people would still be saved and get kidneys than now.
So no matter how you look at this it is an example of good progress.

It's most certainly Progress for the replication of organs. But to claim it as a good progress is kind of letting me trololololololol you![]()

Though how does it have No bad sides? Then it can be all good. But apparently we have to wait for that to happen so it DOES have bad sides![]()
