So let me get this straight, the elevator pitch for this is:
"We're going to make a micro-brain out of dick skin and spider webs so we can give it herpes and see if it gets Alzheimers."

- vmception 6y agoSeems accurate! Since you read the article, the real question to me is what is the brain protecting against? If amyloid plaques are a defense mechanism that happens to permanently block neuron function, then what happens if that the plaques don't form and the herpes infection spreads? There doesn't have to be an answer, evolution doesn't cause improvements, people reproduce before this happens.
