Comment on First human brain implant malfunctioned, Neuralink says
inconspicuouscolon@lemy.lol 5 months agoDo you think we’ll get to that advanced level of use without experiments? And do you think that it was wrong that this is wrong despite consent to the procedure?

I don’t accept that disabled people must be sacrificed at the altar of Progress, and I think the entire process for how they recruit patients and explain the capabilities and risks of the implant deserves extreme scrutiny. There’s a reason doctors have to get hours of education in ethics to be considered competent, it’s a lot more complicated than “just do whatever if it can technically work for a bit.”
