-On the surface, Matt read, nothing could could have seemed more humane. After all, what is suffering but an awareness of suffering?
Do you agree with this passage? And if so why? What would the world be like if we were able to stop the human condition of suffering?
It is fasinateing to consider that, how can you be suffering if you cannot feel it. Like a blind person not knowing what a sunset looks like because they have never seen one. The sighted people in the world all certainly can agree that it is a beautiful sight.
ReplyDeleteI think the fact that we do suffer as well as experience great happiness is what makes us human. By taking that away we are de-humanizing them. I believe that it is wrong to de-humanize another person but I would have to say that the passage is true. By placing that chip they no longer are able to feel or to think for themselves... They have become a computer...a machine. The eegits don't know that they are suffering because they can't feel it. However those who created the eejits or those who are not eejits feel their suffering.
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard as a human to see another human turned into a machine/robot and not feel pain for them and feel there suffering. It is inhumane to take away the very thing that makes humans so great and that is our ability to think and feel the way we want.
