In the absence of clear-cut regulation, who should decide on where and how a technology that could change the course of human health should be applied?
I suffer from several chronic issues myself. I have brutal alergies that makes me feel like I’m drowning at least for one week in spring and one week in autumn. I also have a tinnitus, and have to deal with not geting a break from auditory stimuli.
I get sharing the burden and exchanging information with others. It’s a valid coping mechanism. But I’d never in a million years demand others be born ill, just so they can share the suffering with me. If a piece of culture dies together with all autoimmune diseases, I’ll celebrate it’s demise, and be happy those who come after me won’t have to share it with me.
When it comes to culture, I’d be open to schools teaching sign language instead of a second foreign language. It’s pretty cool form of communication that can be useful even for the healthy folks. But then you risk the eternal september type of event anyway. The culture would change with sudden increase of users.
