to be clear I wouldn’t call it, but I would definitely convene an informal panel to discuss If we should have called it if we were *****

If this guy scores a single basket on me I might go home and commit suicide. It's just not happening in front of other people.

I’m just imagining how much trouble he would have learning to shoot if he didn’t have a rebounder.

Being one armed would be a considerably smaller disadvantage though. You listen to anyone under 25 that just makes you anyone to play in the NBA before the year 2000.

If you could clone yourself right now and create a newborn replica that had no consciousness, and would grow in 12-15 years from now to have limbs and organs entering their physical peak that you could then replace your own weakening features with, would you do it?

The clone would start as a newborn today and grow as normal over the next decade and a half in some hospital chamber, but would never develop consciousness. It would be fed via tube etc and just be a motionless vegetable, but would otherwise grow to be a healthy donor.

Would you do it?

[Neal Romer]

Also if you were to die between now and then, the clone would be brought to consciousness. It would obviously not have your memories or experiences, but you could leave a diary behind for it, summarizing your life to that point and who 'you' are. Once it was brought it up to speed on how to read, write, walk etc, that is.

So you would want to make sure that your clone was a Bronie fluffer?

Shit his mom or dad would be out there. Top person who’d never have to ask haha.

That move to the left was crazy quick.

This is hilarious because there is the idea that you could somehow transplant everything in a body and it’d work like before, that it is more scientific than saying the opposite, way more logical transplant, which is to take ‘you’ from your body and put it into the fresh body.

Then there is no vegetable donor, just a crumpled version of your old body.

0 consciousness? What about subconsciousness?

Basically if their is no brain whatsoever I would do it, why not? Why would that even be unethical?

If their brain was aware and they were simply asleep, no I would not do it.

I recently read a sci-fi book about a genetic experiment to produce harvestable organs. And by “read” I mean, listened to an audiobook. The premise was a group of scientists illegally attempting to genetically engineer living version of the oldest common ancestor of all humans to use for on demand organ transplants. It had me considering if such a thing would be moral, even if they weren’t sentient. These were supposed to be animals that the human body wouldn’t reject after a transplant. Even that felt weird thinking about raising them for that express purpose so I definitely wouldn’t do it for myself.

But if you asked me the moment my child was born if I would let you take stem cells to grow an identical copy with no brain hidden in a secret facility out of the country in case we need any of those organs? Different question.

I do it for my child but feel guilty for myself.

And in truth, it probably wouldn’t even have to be a child. I recently lost one of my two best friends and the way that hurt after being so close for something like 35 years?

If I could press the button and take the lungs from any of you reading this right now and give them to him? I would press the **** out of it. And I would expect you to do the same to me for the people you consider family.

But that doesn’t mean I would outright kill any of you to save myself outside of a self-defense situation.

I’m a lot more morally flexible to protect someone else than I would be to protect myself. At least that’s what I believe without it having been tested.

I raise you any clip you can find of giannis taking the ball up half court

[Ainosterhaspie]

When I took the referee course for soccer, the instructor told a story about a player who had a hand and a nub. Throw ins by rule require two hands on the ball. The player took a throw with hand and nub on the ball and referee whistled him for not having two hands on the ball.

The point of the anecdote was don't be a pedantic prick and use basic sense when encountering anomalies the laws of the game obviously didn't consider.

The same thinking applies here.

[Kblaze8855]

Well as I Said I wouldn’t call it, but I wonder how the rules would apply If we tried to apply them.

Also, I would love to see what happens the 30 seconds after the ref calls a one-handed guy for not throwing it in with two hands. I just want to hear the conversation.

Not necessarily true since you can get prosthetics easier for the leg and there are amputees who run races on them. Faster than us.

Can't really replace the fine motor control of a hand and arm with prosthetic. I would easily rather lose a leg than an arm.

Pedantic Prick was reference to the Referee I mentioned, not you.

I would think the balance hops should be treated as zero steps. That little hop in the opposite direction of where he wants to go looks necessary to move where he wants, so I'm counting that as zero too. First step is when he actually goes somewhere.

Pivot is established when he moves. Hops in place are same as having both feet planted. The little leverage step is a non pivot foot step. He still has no pivot here. First jump establishes pivot. Second jump is non pivot step, pivot is still on ground. Third jump is same as lifting pivot. I think that works reasonably comparably to two foot play.

Yeah, would be interesting to see how that went down, but Insuspect it was something like...

Every parent on the one hand side would be screaming it's BS. Every parent on the other side would scream back ref is calling by the rules and job well done.
