Peter Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Great good and great harm could come with this research. Animals could be trained to perform complex tasks when guided by a programmer. People could be guided by a programmer. Assassins could use this technology to cause fake suicides. A “Manchurian Candidate” is a possibility. A teenage lothario could make women put out just by doping their drink as is already, crudely done. People would come to doubt their sanity. The phrase, “I don’t normally do things like that,” would become more prevalent, and make people doubt themselves. Mind rape could become a crime.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
