You assert that this research is just "a toy project that messes with electrical currents in the brain jazzed up by moral and ethical philosophy". Where is your evidence that it isn't "clearly delineated research objectives backed by solid scientific theory"? Surely, occams razor suggests to me that people actively researching in the field aren't complete morons, and have some idea of what they are doing relative to someone who (assumingly) has no experience in this field. What evidence do you have for your conclusions?
