      Arthur Chu Retweeted penitent admirer

      The fascinating thing about this is that it's very rarely consistent, it's always ableist The same people who think it's monstrous to imagine a world where doctors can give people wings think it would be monstrous to NOT give paraplegic people the ability to walk, if you couldhttps://twitter.com/loudpenitent/status/1304856800315883521 …

      penitent admirer @loudpenitent
      I find it unfortunate that so much focus on discussions of transhumanism, life extension, etc is dominated by the reactionary certainty that everyone involved in it is a closet megaNazi and the "proper" way is to be happy with our bodies as is.

      The comic Surrogates was very blatant about this, the bad guy who wants to destroy the technology is a quadriplegic who invented it so he wouldn't be paralyzed anymore, and the comic almost explicitly states that this was a valid use and the tragedy was everyone else getting it

      When he finally expresses his grief for what he created by EMPing the country and shutting down all the surrogates the hero comes to visit him and says "Well, no one can accuse you of not knowing how much was sacrificed"

      It's a kind of typical melodramatic beat that feels gross in hindsight An abled author putting the words in the mouth of a disabled character that even the ability to walk and run isn't "worth it" if it makes human life "inauthentic", whatever that means

          Anyway the whole thing is gross, the false dilemma is gross Their imaginary society committed a grave injustice by putting all the people who refused to use a surrogate on a "meatbag reservation", but blowing up all the surrogates is an even worse injustice

          They're both the same kind of injustice, a denial of autonomy, saying you don't have the right to do whatever the hell you want with your body

          (The movie, btw, was worse than the comic in every way and we don't talk about it here)
