… giraffes can’t swim?

Yes: self-aware.
I would argue that all living things have the same desires you might call "human", albeit simplified, and likely without the added complexity made necessary via the perception of tribe or familial group as an extension of self. Literally every single human desire is tied to survival via the neuronal survival-mechanism of the brain. Can you find a single thought you've had today that isn't (even loosely) related to survival/procreation? We are almost constantly attempting to seek out safety/security, comfort, and control; and to avoid danger, discomfort, or uncertainty. I'm not sure what "behave like a human" is specifically referring to, but I can certainly see animals following the same survival urges that we do.
I do agree that, in this imagined scenario, the sentience might develop differently than we can see in ourselves: having different parameters in which to define it's sense of self/identity, and that it's survival-mechanism movements might be calibrated via a difference in perspective and the definition of it's own sense of identity.
I'm not, or course saying this is all so: but I imagine it to be somewhat unethical, even arrogant to not consider the possibility.

They come out with a new pill every 6 weeks that's supposed to cure alcoholism. It always ends the same. However, There is a Solution....

There's one already FDA cleared and available for clinics to purchase, https://angleplc.com

It will be available as an NFT through an app that I started developing with a friendly guy who asked me if I wanted to develop an app with him.

From my understanding of physics we should now be able to arc Shwartzchild radii into self-propelling inertial dampening diapers.

Working as a pharmacist I remember a drug rep vaguely suggesting using it for weight loss. Suggested in such a way as to feign ignorance.

Yep. Looking at you negative Cancer Antigen 15-3 and Carcinoembryonic Antigen tests while I actively had untreated cancer.

As somebody with a degree in neuroscience, you are so out of your depth. I understand the logic behind how you got there, but is wildly inaccurate.

Ah yep, I just didn't classify that in my mind as a bioengineering concept.

It deadens emotions by removing pleasure. Not exactly what someone with Bi Polar needs. It can exacerbate suicidal tendencies.

That is not what this device does. This device screens for whole cancer cells.

This can be done much better with proteomics, or multiomics approaches.
With proteomics or multiomics, you don't need cells metastasized into the bloodstream. You only need secreted proteins and metabolic byproducts.
PrognomiQ is one company working on this.

Anything that makes you too tired to want to breath is not worth it.

Sounds similar to some anti psychos where you don’t even have interest in spending energy on breathing even.

What ever happened to the doc at MD Anderson that injected gold particles into tumors, hit them with basic radio waves and destroyed the tumor?
60 minutes did a thing a long time ago.
Why isn't that a treatment?
