Note that I didn't say: "Seconds after some early adopters tried it", but "Seconds after some early adopters have shown that it works and has no side-effects".

Which could be a few decades after some early adopters tried it -- e.g. until they died in their 80s or 90s with perfect brain function...

So, seconds after that...



Right, that was my understanding.

I suppose my point was that kornork seemed to me to be talking about safety and in that context, saying you'd do it after it is shown to be safe isn't saying a lot.


Aha, I took the parent's comments to be about the ethical and/or existential questions.

After all we do various kinds of brain altering operations and take brain altering drugs. DNA is not our personality, just how our body is built.
