Reindeer Corps Class of 2050

« prev 5 in pool next »

… I honestly don't remember what this one was about.  However, checking the style guide (yes, I have a written style guide) this is a member of the Fawn corps, class of 2050.  (The slimline blunt horn caps, one large jinglebell earring per ear combination, combined with proportions of the shoulder, snout, and the fact that they're not defanged yet, which is only done later in life.)

I suppose they're saying something to a classmate who, was just fixed during an event known colloquially as "The Friday of Universal Alteration" when on Friday, August 25, 2051 ALEC-linked public and private schools across the nation put into effect a policy that any parahumans with "fishhook fingernails" needed to be declawed - filing was no longer considered acceptable - and further, dragons needed to be desexed.  Parents and families were notified of the requirement in the middle of June, months in advance, with the request that they handle the situation by the first day of classes.  Guidance on whether that was legal or enforceable was, expectedly, mixed.  In the end, though, the lawyers agreed it was, and they booked the Snipping Drive for the first Friday of the fall semester.  Those who weren't papered had their tails checked for appropriate scars, and paws for points.  In addition, those who weren't also microchipped were tagged in their classrooms, later.  Those who were pulled out of class, were led off to line up next to the Drive's trailer clinic.

I'm sure she's just reassuring a classmate that it's no big deal, it's about time anyway, and that she'd tell them what happened at the end of the movie they were about to miss.  (Okay, they're a she now)  As a Fawn™ from last year's class, she would have been fixed for almost exactly nine months now.  Long enough to remember the recovery, but have forgotten the tenderness that had lingered for a couple weeks afterwords (If it was important, she'd have remembered it, right?) but not long enough to have figured out that there might be some tradeoffs or complications later in life.

Where will they put all those spare parts!

In five-gallon buckets, emptied into refrigerated 55-gallon drums as they fill up or heat up, if human hands are involved. If it's automated surgical robots, then they sort of disappear into the machine, landing on a conveyor belt that drops them into a refrigerated hopper above the drum - likely just another drum.

I haven't decided where they go after that, but someone's suggested that school lunches are a possibility. However, odds are there won't be nearly enough to plan a meal around (one celebrity chef I've read makes extensive use of organ meats after growing up on a farm, and finds testicles very tasty in a spaghetti). I doubt the school really gives a shit where they end up, as long as it's not in their classrooms, so it's probably going to get sold on to some niche, high-end butcher shop.

Hah somewhat comedic how crude that is considering the opposite is epitome of tissue engineering and highs of medicine! But that's usually the same with everything, trees are always easier to climb than to descend. While to say the thought is provocative is understatement, given the hormones are kept in check and then in some time when "those years" are mostly over re engineering the organs back in them might save some troubles for sure. The sex ed might be interesting though.

By comparison, this is some of the first medicine ever invented.

Agreed. That's why they had to backstop the people who ignored the letter requesting they handle it themselves, too.

That's the plan on paper, yes. Of course, during periods of accelerating technological and social change, long-term plans may not be worth the paper they're printed on… and mostly people don't bother printing documents any more. :p

Also, having said that, "those years" aren't the same in humans and dragons - the years in question are rather different. First, you get to skip that period where dragons go a little wild, thinking like a young wildcat around age two, as they aggressively learn the limits of their physicality (often with casualties and property damage). Fixed, they push themselves a little more gently over a period of years, and don't tend to climb furniture or apartment buildings in the process. Also, I had an insight a few months ago - dragons are precocious. Just like they are up and walking within 30 minutes of hatching or birth, they're probably sexually mature at like ten, and the society they're born into doesn't have any way to handle that.

Indeed, I wonder how long ago did people start neutering farm animals

Mhm, maybe making an environment suitable for their growth might be a good way as well, although expensive. As a metaphor you don't make toddlers crawl until they're smart enough not to hurt themselves, you put gates, soft poofy things on everything. Anyway, the one thing that came into mind was it might affect the mental development, we know that it's a pretty precarious thing for humans and things we may not have predicted end up having quite longterm effects into adulthood.

Oh, about five thousand years B.C.?

Oh, certainly. On the other paw, the oldest natural-born dragon is only about 11 - we don't have millennia of data to go on here, so people just know that dragons tolerate desexing well, the rate of complications is impressively low, and it's become cheaply available.

In addition, the cultural issues in play can't be ignored. Considering that even intelligent people tend to be poorly informed, if they don't make a continuing effort to remain well informed, it's likely that a lot of people just assume that it's a common, routine thing for dragons to be desexed that they just don't understand*, because of some combination of rumor-mongering, half-remembered headlines, and - yes - the 'Shoppe's old marketing messages which have become more durable cultural memes than many (even in the company) would prefer.

Rebuilding cities everywhere to account for a self-made minority is unlikely to ever happen, but even if it does, it's not going to happen quickly.

*(It is, but not nearly as common as they think.**)

**(Though it will be, because of them***)

***(Never underestimate the power of misinformed people in large numbers, especially in a democracy.)

One(of many) ironic side of us we take easy to absorbing information that's echoed by group, the crowd effect basically, yet we so often are not able to think what's better for the group as well. xD

Sentient beings might be a different thing entirely to speak of, I can't rightly predict general populaces stance. However, we also effectively neuter ourselves as manner of contraceptive so...
On different note we can be rather skittish when things come to rights, this could draw a lot of lines to some atrocities which people might latch onto quickly.

You'd be better directing your ire at those who bribed the lawyers, not those who asked them, "Are you sure this is kosher?" and were reassured up and down that this is totally legal.

This story element is a take-than to the torture memo under the Bush presidency, and the resulting argument over who to prosecute - the soldiers who did it, while told that "This is legal under international and domestic laws" or those who wrote the memos that the soldiers relied upon to understand what is legal and what was not.

Everything is about something, little of it happens by accident, and most of what does, turns out to have an interesting motivation I was only subconsciously aware of at the time. In this case, that's the modern equivalent of "just following orders", "I made sure I cleared this with my lawyer".
