"Neuralink's Human Brain Implant Milestone and Ethical Concerns"

Documents obtained by DailyMail.com reveal that Elon Musk's Neuralink project has killed at least 1,500 animals, including monkeys, sheep, and pigs, during its quest to develop a brain implant that allows people to control electronic devices with their minds. The animal testing involved drilling holes into monkeys' heads, implanting devices, and subjecting the animals to multiple surgeries before euthanizing them. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has raised concerns about the "extreme suffering" endured by the animals and the "systematic disregard" for their lives, while Neuralink has stated its commitment to working with animals in a humane and ethical way.
