    Most people support mandatory vaccination, treating the incompetent even if they don't consent, mandating medical procedures doesn't seem inherently reprehensible. I'm not saying let's hack off everyone's limbs and replace them with cyborg prosthetics but forced "human augmentation" is already commonplace in our society.

    Thing is, with people like me who would volunteer for that, why would unwilling participants be nescessary?

    You raise some damn good points, especially considering I've benefited from a number of the things you've listed. But this a new field, testers should first be those in need for opt in, i doubt the forst guy to vaccinate a baby was just jamming that needle in, and hoping this works, he had data from prior tests, studies on how these things work, and certainly adult volunteers

    Fucking phone typing. Fixed

    The question isn't one about necessity, but the morality of forcing someone into it.

    I don't believe it's be moral, with a violation of bodily autonomy that's one major immoral check

    Humans ought to have first say in control over their bodies, if not the man controlling himself, than who better? Can a controlled man be truly fulfilled in this?

    Again. Why? You still haven't given a reason behind your claims. People having independence is nice and all, but why should I care someone else's fulfillment. Why not just use them for personal gain?

    On a more immediate basis people may revolt against you and try to bring you to some semblance of judgement by peers, most of which hold the same belief. I guess if you have a way to test without external consequences and no worry of personal safety, the only thing stopping you is petty morality, and the possibility of being ignored by the scientific community. Just "wrong" is the best I have. The golden rule and all that

    So, basically just gut feelings and personal preferences.

    Ya, i was going to say you can't argue from consequences. Like, if you don't do X then Y will happen. That's not an argument.
