Trials for what? Musk’s implant isn’t new or revolutionary this research has been going on for awhile. But because some egotistical asshole wants to do it people are like wow look at that.

Although they were allegedly not treated according to laws, these animals suffered so future human trials can be conducted safely, not because of Musks ego.

What a noble sacrifice they were physically forced to make, locked away in cages and hidden from the public eye. /s.

While we don’t know exactly what goes on in the minds of animals, we don’t need some fucked up, transhumanist vanity project to see that animals have pain, fear, trauma and self-preservation responses that are comparable to ours.

It’s no more ethical to torture animals in the name of bullshit luxury items then it is to torture children, but it’s just as easy to hand wave away that cruelty by claiming “oh their emotions aren’t as complex as ours and maybe all that screaming and crying and clawing at their face is just how they let other children know they’re having a good time”.

If you’re casually convinced it’s all worth it, you can fucking volunteer. Maybe there’s valuable discoveries to be made by testing what happens when apologism and “allegedly” is forces sideways down someone’s piss hole.

They still didn’t need to kill so many monkeys for that. Clearly taking the “move fast and break things” approach, leading to 1500 monkeys dead.

Entirely unethical. That choice is for musks ego.

It isn’t worth it. This technology asks far too much.

A chip in our brain is not necessary enough for animals to be literally sacrificed for “future human trials”

Go back to farming dogecoin or some shit
