    Sure, we don’t know what makes us sapient or conscious. It isn’t a handful of neurons on a tray though. They’re significantly less conscious than your computer is.

      Maybe I was unclear. I think ethics play a role in research always. That does not mean I want this to stop. I just think we need regulations. Computer-Brain-Interfaces and large brainoids are more than a handful of neurons on a tray. I wouldn’t call them human but we all know how fast science can get.
