Your misguided empathy is dangerous to humanity. So much of the vast genetic magic is hidden purely because we tie our hands behind our backs. Each day these secrets are withheld is another day tens of thousands of humans die from potentially trivial diseases and conditions. Further millions suffer in their broken minds for decades with no solace, all because we chose to extend our empathy in instantly gratified, short sighted ways. I say we go further, withdraw our empathy towards the worst among us; those that have hurt their fellow man, and make their bodies available for study and experimentation, both dead and alive.
This might sound fine as stated, but then you might be concerned a philosopher joins to dissect your brain to discover what you think is right and wrong.
How noble. I nominate you to be first for the drowning experiment.
We have all hurt our fellow man, just as we all hurt ourselves. We even have a word for it: sin!
