Federal authorities investigating Neuralink for treatment of test animals

I really don’t understand why we as a society have found it acceptable to experiment like this on other sentient beings for our own advancement.

Why are these animal lives worth less than ours? Just because we are more “advanced”?

Killing animals for food is at least in line with the natural order (leaving aside factory farming). Running experiments like this is far beyond natural, and to me is quite bizarre and unethical.

If the surgical implant procedure is done without the few minutes of time pressure on the robot needle work, say, a hole isn't needed through the skull, sensor traces could be worked through the Pia Arachnoid Complex from the back of the neck before making a turn and going in at the brain.
