Added 2021-07-10 21:09:53 +0000 UTCI was doing some thinking today. I’ve done a lot of studying at school and... I don’t think I want to mess with the silkies dna/eggs or use a crispr gene editing kit on my sky puppies... If it was for something like to benefit them... it would be different. Changing their dna to make their silk glow in the dark or come out a different color for our fashion purposes or pulling proteins from them at the risk and pain of them... just... doesn’t... sit right with me? I don’t want to hurt them. I love them. I don’t think it would be nice to hurt them to benefit us when we already have such nice long lives. What my people have already done is too much and we have a lot to thank them for, honestly. They deserve a lot better than what we have been doing to them. I don’t want to contribute to that apathy or cruelty. If I were in their fat squishy bodies and I knew what was going on... I would be disgusted with myself.... just because we can do something doesn’t mean we should. 🤔 I read an article about ceecee penis testing on orphan girls to make crispr baybees.... and ... I don’t want to be anything like that. I think we should be using skyence and technology to do so much more for the earth instead of for us. I love my silkies a lot even though they were creepy and gross to me at first. Just cuz I wasn’t used to them. I was a mean person in my head and I feel bad about it. I’m glad I’m learning and growing. They’re vastly understudied and written poorly about. There’s a lot of risks and possibly mortal harm when it comes to skyence projects. I love them. I know they can feel pain and some of them can see me. I want them to feel joy and love instead. I only want to see them exist and fly. That’d make me happy. I think the silkworms and their final forms are beautiful as is.
