    I’ll stop being pedantic when people stop giving me a reason to. The link you posted was full of people misrepresenting the discipline and purpose of the paper. That’s what I was replying to.

    If this post was just a link to the paper itself, there would be no misrepresentation.

      I don’t see how it was misrepresented. The X post didn’t claim this was being done already and clearly states it was an argument in a bioethics journal. It seems to me the paper’s authors are not just presenting an interesting argument somebody could make but an argument they actually support so I don’t think it would be right to treat it as a purely hypothetical argument.
