#2You know, I honestly don’t care. It’s probably tens to hundreds of monkeys at the most, they’re probably pumped full of drugs so they don’t feel the pain during implantation and I’m sick of blocking any sort of progress in anything due to ethical concerns. We literally kill millions of cows a day and we’re okay with it, let’s extend some of that understanding to technological progress as well.

Yeah, ethics man. What a pain. Why are we using monkeys anyway when we could just use prisoners and homeless people? Double-score, scientific progress and decreasing the homelessness and prison problem.

You can experiment on yourself and no one bats an eye.

There’s a homeless camp down the street, please send a cleanup crew after you’ve picked them up, thanks.

Wish granted. Please, hop up on the operating table. We're not asking. Thank you, by the way, for the ongoing funding for our project that we've arranged to have diverted from your pay from your employer.
Now, we're going to test the write functionality of Neuralink. We'll know it's working, because when it is, you'll stop screaming.
Moral: Abandon ethics at your own risk.
Normative suggestion: Those that suggest putting aside ethics should be the first to have ethics put aside in all matters pertaining to themselves, that they may be reminded why we make such a big deal of them in the first place.

He does have a point about food animals though. We are perfectly ok with treating them horribly their whole lives to save few cents on the costs (not to mention killing them at all). Yet we pretend to be shocked when something that makes us feel squeamish happens. And then go right back to chewing on that steak...

Ethics can’t be black and white. There has to be a reasonable middle ground and clearly human testing is way, way past what’s acceptable. You can call it a slippery slope but everything is and it’s the reason we have laws to keep things sane.
