"Neuralink Seeks Human Volunteers Following Animal Testing Controversy"

TL;DR Summary
Elon Musk's neurotech startup Neuralink has faced criticism after it was revealed that the company has killed approximately 1,500 animals in its experiments to connect brains to computer interfaces. Records from UC Davis' California National Primate Research Center detailed the suffering experienced by monkeys that received brain chip implants, including bleeding in the brain and parts of the brain being left in tatters. Despite calls from a national group of physicians to halt all animal and human experiments, Neuralink is still actively recruiting individuals with quadriplegia or ALS for brain implant trials.
