Soylent Green/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

*** It might not just be all human, there might be some traces of plankton and such, but human meat ([[Squick]]) is the main ingredient.

**** There ''is'' no plankton. The seas were dead. But it's probably all sort of bits of human, pureed and dried into little cakes with green colouring.

* This is going to sound callous (and technically [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch]]), but what's actually unethical about Soylent Green? People in the assisted suicide place do choose to die. It's gross, and possibly will lead to epidemics of prion disease, but is it wrong? Shouldn't it be kinda less wrong, seeing as animals don't volunteer to be slaughtered?

** The primary reason is they are turning everyone in New York into cannibals without telling them that that is what they're doing. Also, who says that they're not turning over every other corpse in the city into soylent green. Due to the fact that folks are being paid to turn in corpses to the authorities, I would wager that more than just the suicides were brought into the soylent factory.
