THIS IS TO ALL THOSE BITCHES CRYING ABOUT HOW WE ARE USING ANIMALS
sure these animals are pretty smart and such and such and we shouldnt be doing it, but we already use them for meet, i mean we arnt killing an entire animal for one small part of it, these animals are already going to be dead for our food, we are just taking something extra from the carcess
granted this would be very helpful to me given that i am in my mid 20s and have bad OA already, but shouldn't we take a second to consider the ethical implication of exploiting animals like that and not refering to them as "unlimited resources"? (which isn't even correct) does he plan on creating farms solely for this purpose? don't we have enough unethical factory farms? or do we just further torcher those animals by taking their tissue? (which would probably be questionable quality)

I mean seriously... it's a friggin' watch. This after someone talks about something as cutting edge as quantum physics or the future of joint surgery... oy.
@abram730 Global Warming is a fraud, and you bought it you dope. The more you speak the more you show your ignorance. The truth is that there is a "Carbon Tax" being pushed through congress right now. Everyone will pay this tax because of the carbon they exhale. I'm not making this bullshit up. Why on earth are you defending a lie? I think that if you were educated on the subject you wouldn't be making fun of it. Plants eat carbon & produce H2O, we inhale H2O and exhale carbon. Circle repeats.
@DJTmaq Do you mean plants exhale O2. Cause H2O is water. All life takes in and expels water. Also the majority of carbon sequestration is accomplished by micro-organisms in the ocean...that's getting pretty overloaded, high acidity and all that.
I think there's some pretty strong evidence that plenty of people have taken climate change as an opportunity to spread lies and fear for profit & politics, but it's pretty clear that the earth is getting warmer, has been for over 100 years.
@DJTmaq The temperature always moves in both directions when you are looking at individual years. You have to look at long term trends. Looking at long term trends is one of the reasons I don't buy that mankind is the main cause of our current cycle of warming, because it started before we were producing a great deal of CO2. But the earth gets psycho warm and then crazy cold over long time scales. Right now the long scale evidence is a trend of warming, which will continue.
@DJTmaq I have heard that. It seems like a lot of things, too far from the point. I don't support "cap & trade" because it's retarded. It focuses on the wrong things. I oppose ethanol as a replacement for gasoline, because it generates ozone. That stuff is great in the upper atmosphere, but at ground level it kills plant-life and causes lung cancer.
I've always supported a move away from fossil fuels, but because I support progress, not because of some polar bear free scary future. :)
@DJTmaq Let test your theory about H2O... fill up your bath tub with H2O, stick you head in and take some deep breaths of that H2O... I predict the results of this experiment will save the world from your stupidity.
I mean you have no clue what you are talking about. You don't know the difference between oxygen and water for starters. There are no bills to tax breath.
If you were educated of the subject you wouldn't be saying such retarded things.
i can understand why you would make a watch that can stand 12800 feet of water pressure, but I don't understand who would buy that. A person at that depth would immediately get crushed.

who "uses" wristwatches anymore? the brand rolex has become an accessory that shows off only wealth that they are meant for mermans who live 35.000 ft
@Mygo666 I still find my wristwatch useful, but I have heard that younger people don't use them. It just seems more convenient than pulling out my phone. I would by a Rolex if I could afford it, not to demonstrate wealth, but because I think they really are beautiful timepieces. They are actually one of the few status symbol items, that really is of superior quality to other brands.
@Mygo666 in a previous TED video, the presenter actually did a little social test, and among the people who were born before 1990 most still use wristwatches.
@NikoKun When it comes to something like this, I'm not sure it's just politics (though it plays a role to be sure). Manufacturing enzymes is tedious resource draining work, that requires high grade materials. Once you create the substance you have to keep it stable. It's part of why it's difficult to supply medication to another country. It's tricky enough transporting higher end medications within one state. One medication I mix at work is only stable for three hours, then it's useless.
Thumbs down for knocking bionics and implying that something 'natural' is inherently better than something manmade, despite demonstrable fact that those composite, replaceable parts are far superior. This guy can't build an argument so he tries to manipulate with emotional cues.
@RookofIvory I think the substance of his argument was in the availability and renew-ability of bio-matter. Growing things is often more efficient long term, than manufacturing. If we can use parts from our food animals to keep ourselves mobile and vital, it saves us mining the raw materials for our high-grade composites.
Great, so anybody with more than half a conscience when it comes to animal ethics is going to get arthritis while the unthinking masses frolic around on pig legs till they're a hundred.
@liquidminds I have a similar opinion, based on the fact that plants are just as alive as animals. They just not as easy to anthropomorphize. They just don't make disturbing sounds and faces when you kill them. It simply isn't more moral to eat plants than to eat animals.
@t3tsuyaguy1 i agree.. moraly speaking, the only "we dont hurt anything"-moral that works are those guys who only eat fruits that fell of the plant by themselves.
But If humanity would have lived like that from the beginning, we wouldn't be the dominating race we are now. probably there would be no intelligent life on earth without us eating other animals.
That's a ridiculous statement. You wouldn't have been able to browse the internet if it weren't for the school. The schools lay the groundwork, from which you can seamlessly go further from there.
@BrokenBjartur Everyone can lay down the groundwork. Schools just try to force you into studying useless shit and it makes it hard for you to study what you actually want. Schools are the killers of motivation. It's funny how the best students in our class barely studied at school and did most of their studies at home and the student in our school who passed exams with highest scores was homeschooled. I myself learned english watching TV and was way better at it then my classmates.
@SuperiorApostate To some extent, I agree with your comment. I myself, am a physics and math double major and most of us spend our time self-studying material ahead of what we're currently learning in our lectures. It's hard to get a good teaching system in countries that have a large GDP for capita since all the potential good teachers end up in other fields and it is more difficult to have well paid teachers.
It's the schools job to lay down the groundwork, as opposed to the parents. Parents rarely have time to teach their kids. And how can you just label it as useless sh*t? For some, it's very useful. I have been forced to have history, geography and language classes which I consider useless (for me at least). But I have also had chemistry, physics and math which most definitely are useful to me.
I don't know how schools are in Lithuania, so I don't know where you are on this one.
@BrokenBjartur Well, education in Lithuania is useless all together because it's not acknowledged anywhere else in the world. At least not in the countries that matter and here, specialist get paid barely to survive so they leave to do shitty jobs in other countries or get an education there.
I've learned english watching TV, playing PC games and on the internet and I could have been much better at it if in school they would not have forced me to study shit I already know and would have taught me something new.
@BrokenBjartur The function of a school isn't necessarily to educate its students, but rather to record that a student, perhaps, has some mastery of the material which they have studied formally. Also, major research colleges definitely work like corporations where they're looking for what benefits them the most, as opposed to their customers(the students). It's all about the research grants and funding.
@vladibo88 Agreed, but with the mass demand on the meat market, i'm sure there will be more than enough inventory to go in someone's joints rather than another's mystery meat hot dog.
It's the way they are being treated before they are killed. If we would treat a cat or a dog the same way, it's animal cruelty. But when we do it to a pig, it's industry. It's inhumane _and_ hypocritical.
As long as we are still killing the cows and pigs for burgers and ribs, what is the harm in using other parts of the carcass for helping people heal? Especially because it must be pretty much thrown out, being inedible to humans (maybe it becomes pet food).
I'm so sick of people using killing animals to fix humans. Why can't we grow body parts? Killing a pig or cow to make someone walk is really sad to me.
@happykt We can't grow body parts because that's unethical. To do that you'd have to make humans, kill them and harvest their body parts. There are other technologies, but they are also in ethical debates.
Animals are all ready being killed in the millions. Isn't it better if we are using more parts of the animal in stead of throwing what we don't eat away? Also, killing a pig to give someone a good joint is worthwhile investment in my opinion.
@happykt here's a newsflash- the animal was already scheduled to die. The more we can use from it the better. I won't deny animal-based industry tugs at heartstrings at times, but where does that meet with ration and a scientific attitude? Is it religion or 'spirituality' that compels you? What is the value to you to keep them alive or release them to be killed by OTHER predators in a more 'natural' setting? Very very few animals in the wild actually die of old age, it's all be predation.
@tyrannicoystercult Very very few humans in third world countries actually die of old age, it's all disease, conflict, and starvation. Wouldn't it be better to kill these people while their healthy in a more humane way and use their parts for Biologic replacement. Is is religion or spirituality that compels you? What is the value to you to keep them alive or release them to be killed by OTHER people, diseases, starvation, etc, in a more 'natural' setting?
@SuperiorApostate Answer my comment with an argument instead of childish profanity, the point of my comment wasn't that humans are equal to other animals, just that its a bad argument to say these animals are going to die early anyway so lets chop them up for parts. And I hate to break the news to you, but humans are animals.
@shallbeagain parasites are "animals" too, go boycott medicine that kills parasites. You're a retard if you do not know what the common use of the word animal is. Yes, humans are animals because they fall under the Animalia kingdom, but tomatoes are fruits yet everyone calls them vegetables(unless you're a pretentious asshole), because people use common sense and logic to determine the correct definition of certain words. Humans do not equal animals.
@SuperiorApostate - I'm not talking about common usage, humans are animals whatever way you want to look at it., tomatoes are fruits, thats a factual statement, who cares whether most people call them vegetables. How on earth does logic lead you to the conclusion that humans do not equal animals? This is a factual statement is it not. Lets stick with proper definitions. Do you agree that our closest relatives the great apes deserve certain protections?
@shallbeagain Humans are not treated as animals in ethics, because ethics is not spirituality, it is a mishmash of systems of exchange, trust, science, and self-image etc, lots of things. The real definition of humanity is biomatter that is a lot more useful to our pursuits, in most situations at very least. I can start to see the provable use of CERTAIN independantly industrious wildlife and pets which are great helpers and companions for people, but real ethics still sees two ballparks here.
@tyrannicoystercult Your right in the distinction ethicists have traditionally drawn between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom but this is changing more and more due largely to the work of people like Singer. In 2008 Spain became the first country in history to extend human rights to our cousins the chimpanzees, gorillas, orang-utans and bonobos. The field of ethics has changed considerably on these issues and will continue to do so especially as our knowledge grows.
@shallbeagain I had no idea anyone had actually succeeded in doing that! It makes sense to me, but here in the US, some 60 percent of people don't even know that the earth goes around the sun.
@SuperiorApostate From your reply, I suspect your brain already has shut down, or still hasn't matured to a state to allow you to have an adult discussion without name calling. Later.
@shallbeagain From an observation of your replies I have determined that you are a pretentious asshole therefore you do not deserve to be engaged with me in a so called mature discussion, people obviously come to youtube to have such types of discussions and you, after like 3 of my replies failed to see that this is not what I am here for. I do not want to argue about shit you have no control over and I am not interested in your shitty opinions you share with your minority of obnoxious asses [c]
@SuperiorApostate@shallbeagain You would rather a person suffers and has a shitty life which he is able to comprehend and be aware of than a pig being killed to ease his life. Plus, there are a lot of people suffering right now(from a lot of things) and I do not see you doing anything for them therefore I conclude you care more about animals and not humans.
@SuperiorApostate the human is not superior to the so called animal..the pig. it is in this belief of man over nature whre ALL our problems stem from. drop dominion and learn to live within the laws of nature , not above, or outside, of them, then you will experience the problems being gone as well as the life support systems of he world coming back to health..if we're lucky. otherewise your dominion will simply kill us all. all life. people die...people suffer. my remedy is easier and proven
@SuperiorApostate Pigs are pretty smart. They have performed as well as Apes and dophins in mirror self-recognition tests. But ultimately we don't know to what extent they are aware of their surroundings.
@happykt thats a different area of science. it is not currently available, so they make do with what they've got. besides, this wouldnt increase the amount of animals being slaughtered, they'd just buy the parts from the slaughterhouse from animals that have already been killed for meat.
if anything, it reduces the waste from the animal, making it slightly more worth it ethically.
how close are all the ted talks to reality now? the recent one on wikileaks obviously is close to a conventional reality but what about these science ones?
I'm torn. As a lover of science and medicine I'm excited about anything that improves the human quality of life.
As a lover of animals and a respecter of their right to be left alone and live happily, I can but ponder taking away an animal's ligament for my own purposes, whether or not it involves killing the animal. I ask myself if synthetic methods wouldn't be more ethical or feasible.
@shintsu01 Rolex. Waterproof down to 12,800 feet below sea level. For the man who will one day find himself that far beneath the ocean, and somehow still be alive ^.^"
Silly. Ted only shows you information, and does not teach you how to use it, nor does it introduce you to, or enhance, any system you know (language, science or music).
Schools, on the other hand, teach you how to use the information you gather. E.g. they teach you right from wrong, and when to be critical or not.
But the most important fact is that they teach you systems, like language and math.
You wouldn't be able to understand this video, or comment on it if it weren't for them.
@BrokenBjartur I think you're right to a point. We learn language, math and the basic necessities early in life, but sadly during high school and even college, grades take precedence over actually teaching. TED (among many other resources) can inspire to do further research that classes and teachers too often fail to do. Schools too often deaden inspiration. "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." I agree.
when he talks about taking tissues from cows and pigs I can't help but think about South Park. I'm not a particular animal lover, but I think synthetic grown tissue is the way of the future instead of (ab)using animals for anything else but nurriture. having said that, technologies like he discribes are a good way to fill the gap until we can do it all in a synthetic way.
Future....is Kevin

Also, major research colleges definitely work like corporations where they're looking for what benefits them the most, as opposed to their customers(the students). It's all about the research grants and funding.

@vladibo88 What's not humane about killing animals?
SuperiorApostate 1 year ago
@SuperiorApostate
It's the way they are being treated before they are killed. If we would treat a cat or a dog the same way, it's animal cruelty. But when we do it to a pig, it's industry. It's inhumane _and_ hypocritical.

As long as we are still killing the cows and pigs for burgers and ribs, what is the harm in using other parts of the carcass for helping people heal? Especially because it must be pretty much thrown out, being inedible to humans (maybe it becomes pet food).

happykt 1 year ago
@happykt We can't grow body parts because that's unethical. To do that you'd have to make humans, kill them and harvest their body parts. There are other technologies, but they are also in ethical debates.
Animals are all ready being killed in the millions. Isn't it better if we are using more parts of the animal in stead of throwing what we don't eat away? Also, killing a pig to give someone a good joint is worthwhile investment in my opinion.
chessfan6 1 year ago
@happykt here's a newsflash- the animal was already scheduled to die. The more we can use from it the better. I won't deny animal-based industry tugs at heartstrings at times, but where does that meet with ration and a scientific attitude? Is it religion or 'spirituality' that compels you? What is the value to you to keep them alive or release them to be killed by OTHER predators in a more 'natural' setting? Very very few animals in the wild actually die of old age, it's all be predation.

@tyrannicoystercult Very very few humans in third world countries actually die of old age, it's all disease, conflict, and starvation.

What is the value to you to keep them alive or release them to be killed by OTHER people, diseases, starvation, etc, in a more 'natural' setting?

And I hate to break the news to you, but humans are animals.

@shallbeagain parasites are "animals" too, go boycott medicine that kills parasites. You're a retard if you do not know what the common use of the word animal is. Yes, humans are animals because they fall under the Animalia kingdom, but tomatoes are fruits yet everyone calls them vegetables(unless you're a pretentious asshole), because people use common sense and logic to determine the correct definition of certain words. Humans do not equal animals.
SuperiorApostate 1 year ago
@SuperiorApostate - I'm not talking about common usage, humans are animals whatever way you want to look at it., tomatoes are fruits, thats a factual statement, who cares whether most people call them vegetables. How on earth does logic lead you to the conclusion that humans do not equal animals? This is a factual statement is it not. Lets stick with proper definitions. Do you agree that our closest relatives the great apes deserve certain protections?
shallbeagain 1 year ago
@shallbeagain Humans are not treated as animals in ethics, because ethics is not spirituality, it is a mishmash of systems of exchange, trust, science, and self-image etc, lots of things. The real definition of humanity is biomatter that is a lot more useful to our pursuits, in most situations at very least. I can start to see the provable use of CERTAIN independantly industrious wildlife and pets which are great helpers and companions for people, but real ethics still sees two ballparks here.
tyrannicoystercult 1 year ago
@tyrannicoystercult Your right in the distinction ethicists have traditionally drawn between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom but this is changing more and more due largely to the work of people like Singer. In 2008 Spain became the first country in history to extend human rights to our cousins the chimpanzees, gorillas, orang-utans and bonobos. The field of ethics has changed considerably on these issues and will continue to do so especially as our knowledge grows.

@SuperiorApostate the human is not superior to the so called animal..the pig. it is in this belief of man over nature whre ALL our problems stem from. drop dominion and learn to live within the laws of nature , not above, or outside, of them, then you will experience the problems being gone as well as the life support systems of he world coming back to health..if we're lucky. otherewise your dominion will simply kill us all. all life. people die...people suffer. my remedy is easier and proven

@happykt thats a different area of science. it is not currently available, so they make do with what they've got. besides, this wouldnt increase the amount of animals being slaughtered, they'd just buy the parts from the slaughterhouse from animals that have already been killed for meat.
if anything, it reduces the waste from the animal, making it slightly more worth it ethically.

As a lover of animals and a respecter of their right to be left alone and live happily, I can but ponder taking away an animal's ligament for my own purposes, whether or not it involves killing the animal. I ask myself if synthetic methods wouldn't be more ethical or feasible.

Silly. Ted only shows you information, and does not teach you how to use it, nor does it introduce you to, or enhance, any system you know (language, science or music).
Schools, on the other hand, teach you how to use the information you gather. E.g. they teach you right from wrong, and when to be critical or not.
But the most important fact is that they teach you systems, like language and math.
You wouldn't be able to understand this video, or comment on it if it weren't for them.
BrokenBjartur 1 year ago
@BrokenBjartur I think you're right to a point. We learn language, math and the basic necessities early in life, but sadly during high school and even college, grades take precedence over actually teaching. TED (among many other resources) can inspire to do further research that classes and teachers too often fail to do. Schools too often deaden inspiration. "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." I agree.
limitbreak323 1 year ago
@limitbreak323
Obviously, but I feel that more and more people stop giving schools ANY acknowledgement at all.
And I also strongly believe we are forced to learn rather pointless and irrelevant things (for some people) during high school and college.
But in most cases, elementary school, and sometimes college and high school, are absolute necessities for our intelligence to prosper.
Funny you should mention "inspire" though. I wouldn't say that is "learning", although equally important.

when he talks about taking tissues from cows and pigs I can't help but think about South Park. I'm not a particular animal lover, but I think synthetic grown tissue is the way of the future instead of (ab)using animals for anything else but nurriture. having said that, technologies like he discribes are a good way to fill the gap until we can do it all in a synthetic way.
