Definitely a good point. I think a lot of the rage here stems from the assumption that these brain implants will be less about restoring abilities to the disabled and more about giving people the ability to post in social media at the speed of light. The frivolity of the potential applications seems short of justification for animal abuse, even if saving lives is sufficient justification. (Edit: I figure there will be some frivolity, but truly useful medical advances will be made. Are they worth the lives of monkeys? I sure am glad I’m not a bioethicist because I dunno).
