Chinese scientists create RC pigeon

Feb 27th, 2007 10:08 Discuss (40 Comments)

Scientists at Shandong university in east China succesfully implanted micro electrodes in a pigeons brain. The electrodes simulate specific parts of the brain forcing the pigeon to comply with the given commands.
The technology is being improved so it could be put to practical use in the future. The pigeon is the second succesful remote control animal since a similar experiment on mice in 2005.

Yeah but the fact is they don't. They have no say in the matter. We think we have the right to just take a living animal and stick shit in it's brain.

PIGEONS HAVE NO SAY, SO LEAVE THEM ALONE!

Faggots.

The Chinese can do whatever the fuck you want! :shadedshu No-one will stop them!

While I appreciate you have your opinion. I doubt the Chinese have done this for anygood. None the less, this technology in the right hands or any hands will be huge! And if you have to sacrifice a few pigeons to save potentially millions of lives in the future, i'd be 100% behind it!

Why not do it to the scientists who invented it? If they're willing to try it out on other living things, but not themselves, they're a bit hipocritical, are they not?

Because they are the ones who need to harness and devvelop this technology? Are you seriously telling me you'd put the life of an intelligent human ahead of a flying rat?

Are you a Vegan by any chance?

Good man! I can see where your coming from! Especially since its the Chinese that are doing this. But the potential for good it has is huge, and hopefully it will get used for this good. :)
