AND NOW, AN EXCERPT FROM MP SLICK’S TED TALK:

…But, what is the value of a human life, really? We can talk all we want in terms of carbon; water; and you know the drill. We can talk about their organs, and how they’re useful; you know; if you can’t afford the better options today’s technology affords you to make your own.
:Here the speaker pauses. The audience laughs:
But, what I want to talk about is their value as a system. Humans are more than the sum of their parts. Every organ helps the others, like a perfect symphony, and every neuron and chunk of brain adds to the others to form nature’s perfect computer.
Think about it. They’re a life support system for whatever you can plug in if you can find the right socket, they’re a PC if you know what cords to hook in, they’re a means of coming up with ways to enhance their very own utility to us without even knowing it.
We have yet to even begin to use the united capabilities of biopower to their logical conclusion. What happens when you unite lots of these isolated neuro-net systems to make your organization’s mainframe? Or to make organs you couldn’t even dream of? Or even just for a simple pleasure-garden.
Yes, humans are our most valuable resource. But, why should we be prevented from using our greatest resource to its fullest potential? You don’t hear pork bellies or investment futures complaining about rights?
And what are resources for but creation? And what if I told you today that we are using our human resources to make Humans Plus. Homo economicus. In a word, us…

SO YEAH, SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Because A) I couldn’t really come up with a picture, and B) I’d been bouncing this idea for a short in-universe TITLEWave drabble from the perspective of that evil; evil bastard.
Because, good god do I hate MatPat and good god do I hate smarmy “intellectuals” who pose morally abhorrent ideas under the guise of rationality. 
As per usual, this drabble is under a CC-BY-SA license for direct adaptation, but all the characters/concepts/settings/ect are free to use as you see fit under a CC-BY-Vanilla license so long as I; Thomas F. Johnson, am credited as their creator!
