    The first implant was in a paraplegic man. The FDA is not approving this experimental procedure for otherwise healthy people.

    It’s not hard for me to believe some healthy person would be a dope and want to experiment with this, but it’s not what is being considered.

    The top level comment is shitty on severely ill people for being willing to take a risk to improve their life and the lives of others.

    It’s either pure trash, or the poster is so blinded by their hatred for musk that they aren’t thinking rationally. I suspect the latter.

      Perhaps you should read the other comments where I explain that the company’s track record of ethics and success sucks ass, and isn’t the only one doing this kind of research. They’re just the only ones willing to go through human trials with garbage that falls apart.

      Them using desperate people doesn’t help with the ethics here. It actually is much worse, taking advantage of people.

        My point has nothing to do with the company, but you calling sick people who want to make their own life better, and hopefully better the world at the same time, “braindead.”

        I won’t let you gaslight us and try to pretend your original point was solely about the company. Sorry.
