Humankind is disgusting

Whether or not this experiment will benefit the human species, we have no right to do such evil to another animal, regardless of their lack of ability to stand erect or have a bank account. If such horrors were being committed against an infant or a mentally disabled person, there would be a public outcry. The same should be for those of a different species. They may not speak in our language, live exactly by our customs, be productive in our society, or share our physiology, but like us, they are on this planet and like us, they desire freedom, life, and away from exploitation and harm. To violate someone's body like that simply because you have the power to do so does not prove your superiority to them, but your inferiority. We, as a more intelligent species should be better than that. However, we use our power and intelligence to go beyond the natural survival methods common in the Animal Kingdom, and at whatever cost, so that we can become immortal. We maim and torture beings for anti-wrinkle cream, hair bleach and dyes, plastic surgery, and now full head transplants, because we, unlike other animals, cannot accept that mortality is a part of being alive, and that at some point you have to draw a line. How selfish to decide when another creature’s time is up, when we’ve already had our chance. How much more time on this Earth does one need to experience life? Clearly, we are missing the point of life itself if we must destroy it to learn about it. Life isn’t just about surviving; it’s about living. I’d much rather live and have respect for the earth and its inhabitants, than just survive by destroying everything in my path.
