Discussion Have Science gone too far?

Not far enough, since they're just trying replicate the substance's proteins amount, while not actually relying on a cockroaches' actual milk. But, with that said, fuck me in reverse rape in some random anime porno, because I rather die from exhaustion than drink literal bug juice.

 

Most things that can be used for good can be used for evil / destructive purposes.
Poison could cure in small doses, but medicine could kill in large doses.
TNT / Dynamite can be used for great results in excavation, construction and such, but to horrific results in war.

Scientists only come up with the results proving what's possible or not. It's the people who make those results common, accepted, well-known or find alternative use for it that bear the most responsibility.

 

Pfft, all that and didn't even dare to straight up negate my only point

 

Science does go too far at times and that too far can be quite disgusting.

 

sounds better than eating the whole thing, though

Not far enough there's still miles to go

 

Ignoring the (probably?) unintentional racist drawings, that's exactly what I was thinking!

 

I'm envious. I wanted to do cool stuff like that...

My answer to the thread question is 'not far enough'. They need to keep going with trying to get bacteria or something to produce it so that it's easier to get.
(and so that actual roaches aren't involved at any step)

edit: So I read part of the research paper. The process seems complicated and replicating it without roaches seems like it would be difficult.
But the idea of crystallization of proteins(?)/milk as a way to slowly release nutrients is really cool. I don't think it would work for humans, but it's still really cool

(Disclaimer: There were a lot of words/concepts in there that I don't know properly, so I might have understood things wrongly.)

 

Damn, definitely
