The only thing I can consider unethical about it, assuming you didn’t just steal a working brain and “imprison” it or something, is that you’re kind of right. What makes us human is more than just our brain but most of what makes up our consciousness (not the subconsciousness) is in the brain itself. So it sounds to me like giving birth to a total vegetable on purpose and not caring what the suffering of the internal brain is. Obviously it wouldn’t be this simple (probably) as the conscience depends on the body and it’s motor functions and outputs as a part of its subconscious. You’d replace those with whatever the wires were connected to and hope you were talking to the brain the way you thought. But assuming we could hand wave that it sounds like an ethical debate that could both be had at some point and allow me to sit out of. Then again when I tried college ethics is the one class I dropped. I like to build things and be able to base them on things it’s possible to infer. Ill leave the ultra nuanced philosophy of what people should do in situations when there are no true answers up to better people than me.
