The fact they didn't let the fetus grow really fucking sucks. Sure, ethics most definitely has its name etched on the science stone.

But people WILL without a shred of doubt recreate this experiment, and they most likely won't be as ethically inclined as the nice folks behind this paper.

The point am trying to make here is that we need to be prepared to deal with how a discovery like could influence our future. The best way to do that is to know what expect with enough time ahead to react.

And yeah sure people will say this is just an excuse for morbidly curious people like me to simply see what happens, and while I'm literally brimming in desire to know myself, theres a bigger picture, bearing witness is just a perk:)

Killing animals off after a sufficient time period is common in lab testing (and even enforced). They probably had to get approval for the 100 days and most likely wouldn’t be allowed to make any decisions regarding the matter themselves. That being said, most labs in the US have to abide by the same guidelines and if this does happen again in a setting where the scientists can choose an arbitrary age to let the fetus live it probably won’t be in the US

I have no idea what the process is for other countries like Germany in Japan but I’d like to think they’re similar.

Let's all just agree that if that lil smart monkey was born, nobody's allowed to kill it until it dies a ripe old age of natural causes, and we hopefully teach it to play Winston in Overwatch.

Otherwise, that's way too close to murder - thank you very much.
