Nope. No. Fuck that. That is the kind of thing that makes my skin crawl. Do not mess with brains. We don't know enough yet to ethically mess with brains in that way
There's no way we know enough about brains to know that for sure
FUCK YOUUUUU
Zero trust in American, British, German, or French ethicists; zero trust in ethicists from pro-Israel\colonial nations
Ethicist, especially bioethicist, is a job yhat specifically involves justifying experiments. You don't hire an in-house ethicist to tell you no.
So basically the scientific equivalent of Western journalism
that's nice
