i think its disguting and immoral. i want to hear other people opinions on it. by biocomputing i mean dna used computer storage,neuron based computing ,and any other computing that makes use of living biology.

It’s definitely a gray area (pun intended). Research has shown that the neuron lab matter takes the normal gestation period to fully start communicating and organizing properly. So it suggests that its inevitable that neural matter reaches a state of completion ready for life at end of gestarion.
I.e. rat neurons are ready in a few weeks
so do you think its fine to make them and use them or is it too unethical?
I think its somewhat early in research. They are seeing they can process info through the neurons like computing, and that at full gestation period there is a change. However they claim that without external sensing and stimuli such as vision or movement or a way to interact with the environment that they arent sure if true conscious like behaviour would emerge, because an organism learns its surrounding and sense of self by interaction with the physical world. Its a scary topic that I don’t have proper knowledge to comment on how beneficial or horrific it might be
