Richard Dawkins is not a good person. He’s also batsh*t insane. Once someone makes the leap from laboratory-grown meat to “you know, we could grow human meat, too,” it’s time to get off of Twitter and maybe just go ahead and excuse yourself from polite society:
These developments are very encouraging. They promise yet another major addition to the list of ways science has found to reduce suffering in the world.https://t.co/FODVSTH1op

Human steak could of course be cultured. Would you eat it? I wouldn’t, but it’s hard to say why. It would be cultured from a single nameable person. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall served human placenta, also clone of 1 person, in this case the baby. I wouldn’t eat that either.

Is it hard to say why, Richard? Is it?

For him, this is normal. That’s what’s so disturbing.

Dude. I understand you're struggling to stay relevant in a world that's no longer interested in you, but this is not a good way to go about it. You've created a disgusting caricature of yourself. Just stop.

Richard. Put down the peyote.

Dear Dr. Dawkins,
Are you okay?
Sincerely,
The Internet— Dr. Mansa Keita (@rasmansa) February 18, 2020
Are you high?
You wouldn’t eat it because it’s a fellow human being. https://t.co/UbmTFWthqX

We thought that went without saying.
How about we just don't eat people.
Why does Dawkins always have to go to extremes with these "thought experiments"? https://t.co/xiOwBR6W3o

Would you engineer an opposite-gender clone of yourself and turn it into a sex slave? HO HO HO THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS.
— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) February 18, 2020
WHAT IF? What if you could clone a baby OF YOURSELF and then turn it into a FRESHLY COOKED HUMAN STEAK? THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS.
— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) February 18, 2020
JUST THINK of the ETHICAL IMPLICATIONS. But ETHICS ASIDE, WHAT IF?????????
— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) February 18, 2020
Ugh.
Why are you like this
— Pete the Cheat ? (@FungeonMaster1) February 18, 2020
Because he’s Richard Dawkins.
