There's an interesting fate I would have never seen coming,...burned at the stake in the name of Dolphin Jesus.

Yup. You got it. I'm sorry, but if you pass a law that you know will directly result in the death of children, you are a child murderer.
Good. This law and those like it are passed and espoused by literal child murderers. They have the blood of children on their hands. Subhuman murderous filth.
There are two parties in the US:
- Nazis.
- A nominal opposition party that is lead by Nazi collaborators.
My favorites are in Asimov. In the Foundation series, one product the traders sell is a nuclear powered ash tray. They employ advanced nuclear plasma manipulation to...quickly atomize cigarette butts.
Or the time there's this couple. They are traveling to another planet, and they get aboard their personal interstellar spaceship. The society is advanced enough, that that is just something you can own.
What happens as soon as they get onboard their personal FTL interstellar ship? The husband commands his wife to get dinner started.
When I was a kid, Commander Data from Star Trek TNG was the height of technological possibility. TNG was set in the 2300s.
It looks like hard drives are selling for about 20 bucks a terabyte now. Commander Data had a storage capacity of 100 petabytes.
So today, to buy hard drives equivalent to the capacity Commander Data would cost about $2 million. You would have to be very wealthy to afford that as an individual, but the cost will only get lower. It will still be quite awhile before a random laptop will have a Commander Data's worth of storage space. But you're talking decades, not centuries.
Though, this calculation is for the Data that appeared in the original TNG run. His more recent appearance in Star Trek Picard may be different, as his specifications there may canonically differ.
This calculation was only meant to detail the capacity of the original Commander Data, not the more recent Big Data.
They need Jeeezus!
OMG. Wait. If we ever do try to figure out how to translate their language...
Someone is going to actually try to teach them Christianity. I guarantee it. It's inevitable.
"Even The Animated Series?"
"ESPECIALLY The Animated Series?"
Man's Anus AI.
There are fossilized humans. Fossilization really doesn't take that much time, geologically speaking; it just requires very specific conditions.
The people arguing that simply are not arguing in good faith.
It's even worse than that. You can't even be forced to donate organs or blood after you're dead. Most places are opt-in for organ donation. A few jurisdiction are opt-out. Nowhere has mandatory posthumous organ donation. Some despotic countries have apparently used force organ harvesting on political dissidents, but no country has ever established some broad rule, based on patriotism or some such, that everyone has to donate organs after death.
In red states, pregnant women literally have less bodily autonomy than corpses.
