I suppose it would depend on the species of octopod, and how much of their
previous behavioral structure remains in the uplift. There are some octopods
which are canibalistic, and there are some that die after reproducing. Would
these themes still be present in our uplifted octopods? If so, it may make
for some friction from having different perspectives than humans on these
questions.
