One of the big issues about the Catgirling Machine was the great pain it causes.
Can we assume this issues is addressed in any/all of the derived machines?
The brain isn't supposed to have any pain receptors, so is the pain partly an artefact of the process?
Have there been any scientists who experimented on themselves, carefully recording the entire process? Maybe even slowing it down (or trying to), so as to get a clearer recording?
Has anyone tried (I bet Boskone did) putting something other than a human into the Catgirling Machine, say a dog, sheep or pig of about human mass, just to see what they got out?
Edit: Sorry, Rob. Posted this when I was tired. Forgot that you had a story which depended on various details of CGM. Thread:
