I was under the impression that something is very wrong with that. The Honorspren captain believed that swearing ideal five happened as a matter of course.

This is pretty good. The rest of us theorists will have to up our game. Also please add your theory to my hall.

SA thread will be mostly safe but not 100%.

How much will you pay us?

That sounds kind of hard. I don't think humans are meant to be personifications.

The spikes Harmony gives out have basically no charge. You are comparing a pinprick to a gut wound. Saying Vin did not have issues is not something I think I have ever heard anyone say. She clearly did. Trust issues, and paranoia are the top two. Also Vin was super preservation aliened. I am not sure a small bit of ruin's investature would make much of a difference the way it would to an average person. If safety was your primary concern I would recommend not getting spiked at all. Also many people exist who are stupider then you. I even know some of them. Mistaking your (in this case I am pretty sure correct) belief for a general consensus that all people(or even a majority) will likely follow is fallacious. Unless they have read Spook's book which presumably explains everything that one needs to know. Only the absolute youngest of children will not be able to use medallions and they will not be able to use normal metaminds or burn metals either. Thanks!

This also does not require a medical degree. Also assuming you have time it is not that difficult. Remember you can measure 8 or 9 times if you want. I think it clearly breaks several rules of ethical practice. I admire your search for knowledge but I think there are better ways it could be directed. Go worldhopping. Check out SIlverlight. They must admit new students sometimes.

It warps your soul. Warbreaker spoilers If there was a do it yourself surgery that granted superpowers on youtube that worked I would have issues and want that thing taken down so that homeless people are not lured in and used for this. You need some knowledge of anatomy but it does not seem more complex then suturing and plenty of people can do that without a medical degree. Just find the right vein stick metal in put it in blood and then put it in another vein. Which the Kandra now have and can duplicate. I am not a medical history expert but research experimental treatments are different from what you are proposing.

Considering them money involved and the intensives. I doubt that will make much of a difference.

Yes! And then they can tag team in getting Kaladin to go on a fricking date!

So you think the fifth oath will be similar somehow to the second?

Thanks! I am willing to hear about changes to wording even though it is really not my highest priority since it is quite variable. If you have any other kind of suggestions let me know as well. I am far from 100% on these theories and I would appreciate the help.

I seriously doubt that. Plenty of people opt into organ donation but in this case only 1 in about 150 people qualify. Of those only 1/8 of the people have the spikes you are looking for(this is just with the numbers of alomancy I am willing to bet they will be worse for feruchemy) and of those I have a feeling that most will not want to donate. If by the basic spikes as you call them you mean something like strength I do not think those would help with anyone's quality of life considering the side effects. Maybe. However publicizing this so that a black market develops seems like a bad idea. I happen to disagree and there is a WoB that seems to back up my position. However anyone can hold the byands of morning and we have indications on how those were made and that they do not require hemalurgy. Also while our medical system is far from perfect. We get on much better then they do on scadrail. I am not sure where your belief comes from and I further ask is it is possible to discover such a thing without undergoing some kind of testing(kind that took TLR over 1000 years to get nowhere).

Welcome! I am afraid until you finish Edgedancer you can't go on the SA thread until you finish era two you can't go on the mistborn thread, an until you finish the emperor's soul you can't go on the elantris thread all for fear of spoilers. However the Warbreaker thread is always open and if you have read any Sanderson YAs those should be free as well. In the meantime. It is great to have you here. Tell us about yourself! Favorite book in the cosmere?

No. I refuse. That is an unholy name. In reality it would be more like if texting acronyms became a a code used only by the elite.

Those surgeries are ethically problematic but they do not require the help of donors who may well die as a result of donation especially if old as is being proposed. Even if they do not die the donors are likely to have a pretty terrible quality of life afterward as they will be at high risk of infection and depression. As to the potential of saving lives through the use of gold and pewter. These benefits will only be available to the extraordinarily wealthy not the average citizen. As to the thought that black markets will always exist. This would not have been true if no one had passed on the knowledge of the procedure. That cat is clearly out of the bag but Spook and Harmony had no way of knowing this. All things considered. Using southern technology seems like it would give all of the real advantages in terms of quality of life without the pesky ethical dilemmas.

If you do something that extreme they will almost certainly recognize the emotion as unnatural and reject it. If they don' then maybe but you are physiologically torturing someone so maybe don't do that.

But it is not like anyone's life will be saved by such a practice. On the other hand each operation does run the risk of killing someone even at the best of times.

Hide the specifics of the job then. Tell us what this will consist of procurement, sabotage, or "liberation" how difficult it will be and the duration of the mission.

Alternatively if you break Harmony back into Ruin and Preservation you could keep Preservation on Careful, Resolute, and put Ruin on learned and Creative. Then put prudence on Wise and Careful

Actually steeling knowledge is not something I think we will ever see. It has too many applications(Hoid). Enough so that you actually understand to some degree how someone becomes a sports fan is always what I presumed.

Names? In a place like this? While I am in disguise? You are giving me doubts about how professional your organization is.

SA spoilers 100% immunity is not a thing in the cosmere.

I see no real indication that it requires any real knowledge to preform hemalurgy. Just some basic anatomy should do it. I also worry about the influence both parties open themselves to. Other then that I find your points valid except for one. Organ donation saves lives. Hemalurgy would not it would just make a few people more powerful at the expense of others.
