Miss me with that gay death shit

@D.kota I'm not getting the point

I mean if the dead don't have rights, then the government would be allowed to control the dead.

government-run zombie hordes are too dangerous for one group to control, clearly

Problem is when someone dies, objectively theyre just a mass of dead organic cells

They remain human in appearance alone

@D.kota things dont have rights

Rights are something you afford the living

We just generally dont abuse bodies because its immoral

Well rights are something the living have

But that depends if you believe in "god"(I prefer societal) given rights or state given rights

A continuous extension of the self, though. Rights apply to the person, and the Constitution at least doesn't differentiate the living from the dead. The body, at least rationally, is part of the self.

😩 is this gonna turn into a philosophical debate

It might

Its like reverse abortion

When does a human stop being a human and become a lump of cells?

Is a decaying corpse human?

Is an ash pile human?

What about those tree coffins where they plants a sapling that uses your body as nutrients

I would even go as far as to say that your body isnt you, it's your property for sure. But the same way as a tool would be a part of you

It's a tool for your consciousness to use to do things

Id say a human is the combination of the consiousness and body

Body doesnt need to be organic mind you

A consciousness and a ability to impact the world you also could say

Yes

A consciousness uploaded to a computer wouldnt be human

But a consciousness uploaded to a humanoid android body could be

But an empty android wouldnt be

Does android mean any biological parts?

No

Cyborgs is biological

Okay so what's the difference between the computer and the android

The computer is virtual only

You have tools to impact the world

At least if you can interact

No way to tangibly move and interact

The consiousness needs to be anchored to a moving physical form

If it can inhabit multiple bodies at once then its not human

Well for me it can't because it wouldnt be the same person anymore at that point

If there exists more than one instance of the consiousness it becomes a clone, not a human

Yes exactly
