That is all. This modern Mengele is now going to start ordering the same to be done to paralyzed human beings. I see no reason why this won't be extended to prisoners and other typical nazi targets soon.

Honestly I think this kind of technology could be useful and good but fuck me there has to be at least 2 dozen other ways to go about it that are loads more ethical and humane. Plugging gear into people's brains is already a thing, after all. We already do these stuff on real people for treatments with seizures and hearing and prosthetics and shit without 95% of the ethical quandaries Elon is happily stumbling into. What a fucking asshole.

Most experimental applications of such technology that aren't Cyberpunkerino LARPing don't require invasive surgicals grafts with living tissue at all and in that way avoid the inflammation/infection/rejection problems entirely.

In a way, the cruelty is the point for my-hero . He wants things to look and act like the fiction that excited him, no matter the actual consequences.
