alt Hacker NewsYeah, the father/son framing feels like deliberate spin in the headline here. This was a mentally ill adult, not an innocent victim ripped from his parents arms.
I think there's room for legitimate argument about the externalities and impact that this technology can have, but really... What's the solution here?

Being an adult doesnt make you anyone less someones child, and mental illness makes you no less of a victim.

And yet both this and your other posts in this thread seem to in fact only do the opposite and seem entirely aimed at being nothing other than dismissive of literally every facet of it.

Maybe thinking about it for longer than 30 seconds before throwing up our arms with "yeah yeah unfortunate but what can we really do amirite?" would be a good start?
> mentally ill adult, not an innocent victim
Did you really mean that? He may not have been a child, but he does sound like an innocent victim. If he were sufficiently mentally disabled he would get some similar protections to a child because of his inability to consent.
