Incredible to know how these guys are stimulating the movements of the cockroach. I think that this is very cruel for the cockroaches. Although they are insects, they do have feelings and I think they feel pain. On the other hand, this can help scientist to know better how to work with neuroscience. However, I am not totally sure this will really happen.
I don't think it's fair to treat animal this way. I think it is a breakthrough of the technology, but it is also a dangerous beginning. Maybe they will use it on slaves after wars one day.
This article caught my attention. It is always interesting to know about new innovations. I think that electronic backpack which allows people to control the movement of the insects trough a mobile phone is very good innovation and will help scientists to find treatments for neural disease. However, I do not think that children should be involved in it. Living organisms cannot be considered as games for children because it can have some bad consequences for both children and insects.
No way! I have commented in this post but when I pressed the publish button, it erased my comment. Okay, a quick comment. My statement with question is: In the scriptures God commands us to have domain upon the all creatures on Earth, but is it the best to have domain upon the cockroaches?
I dont know how a insect nerve system function. So, I dont know of the procedure of attaching this electronics to the insect is painful or not. If its not painful to the insect I think is not cruel. However, its still depending on the purpose. I mean, of people just use this control for fun, I disagree. But, if scientists use this control for experimenting for human health reasons, I agree.

ReplyDeleteThe fact that I hate cockroaches makes me think that this is not unfair. Maybe this is the easiest way to test this technology.
