Sacrificed is a term commonly used in biology and neuroscience, so the person quoted us just using specific jargon to their field: https://slate.com/human-interest/2015/07/the-surprising-history-of-scientific-researchers-using-the-word-sacrifice-to-refer-to-lab-animals.html https://slate.com/human-interest/2015/07/the-surprising-hist... I'm sure the photos will look terrible, but if you have ever seen this kind of work in photos or papers, it is unpleasant, but as another poster points out: this is not neuralink specific. Far more animals are sacrificed for much more mundane science than what neuralink is trying to achieve, which could enormously improve quality of life for a lot of people.

This was Neuralink specific though. Neuralink have been breaking the laws which govern animal trials, and then cynically hiding the evidence of this from the public. That animal needed to be 'sacrificed' - after a day or so of horrific suffering - directly because Neuralink leaked toxic glue directly onto the animal's brain. They took notes on the horror show which followed instead of killing the animal immediately, and then took steps to hide all this from the public as well as the law. > Far more animals are sacrificed for much more mundane science Guess what - I don't agree with that either. But Neuralink are breaking the law, deliberately, and then deliberately covering that up. It's not the fucking same, and it's wild how y'all aren't getting that.
