Oh, but there's a catch. You know the saying that a cat has 9 lives?

That's the literal truth for the ponies.

[Trapezohedron]

Develop replacement augmentations for ponies, then.

After that, remove every organ and replace them with synthetic.

[Dsarker]

Ah, and the cinch - nopony knows how many lives they've used up.

[Sordid]

So.

Torture.

If you knew that the ponies were sapient beings, but also knew that they could regrow every one of their organs, and that these organs were perfect fits for human replacements...

Would you do it?

Cloning + lobotomy of the fetus = non-sentient ponies that can be factory farmed and their organs harvested en masse.

[Trapezohedron]

Find it out the HARD WAY.

The augmentations will be sold for organs. It's their choice if they're going to take that.

And the companies will get rich and kidnap fillies and colts, for organ farming and testing.

[Dsarker]

So.

Torture.

If you knew that the ponies were sapient beings, but also knew that they could regrow every one of their organs, and that these organs were perfect fits for human replacements...

Ohohoh.. You thought that the organs just referred to their kidneys and livers and the like?

Their brain comes back as well

[Trapezohedron]

Repeatedly remove their brains for Fried-brain sandwiches.

[Dsarker]

And the real kicker - last life that they lose causes all their organs and the like to combust.

[Crazy Cow]

I refer to you the tale of Prometheus. Guess form there :p

[Trapezohedron]

Gauge the newborn foal's lifespan to avoid such mistakes. (a.k.a breed some ponies first)

Then, after it's 8th life is consumed, throw the pony down a trash-compacting ditch.

[Flying Dice]

But if you're producing clones, you can probably come up with a magical method for memory transfer, which means that around the 6th or 7th life you just switch to a new body with a full set of lives. Voila, immortality!



Magical methods of memory movement make multiple migranes in many mares.

And lo and behold... a strong black market trading in pony organs will pop up.  It will thrive, because people with lotsa money will... throw money at them, screaming: "Take my money!"

Pony combustion?  Who cares, it was an accident, the poor fellow must've slipped and broke his neck for the last time, taking everyone around with the bugger. 
They wouldn't care that their customers also combust too, but, they'd probably offer to sell that pony along with the organs to ensure long life....  wouldn't be too surprised if those people with money to throw around would go as far as to create a secret dungeon/place to ensure long and safe pony life.  Alone.

Or a monthly/yearly payment set-up to keep ponies alive and hidden away somewhere... for the more reputable black market affiliates...

[Flying Dice]

That would actually be hilarious if it happened in our world:

Some criminal organization murders a debtor for their organs one too many times and a bunch of wealthy businessmen spontaneously combust.

Not that anyone actually looks at it, but spiffied up the opening post. Expect new introductory images whenever I feel capricious.
