Ethical Assessment of Implantable Brain Chips

Ethical evaluation of the implanted brain slices My goal is to discuss the ethics of embedding computer chips in the brain and to present some preliminary ethical and social problems. In the next 20 years, the computer scientist predicts that the neural interface will be designed not only to broaden the dynamic range of sensation, but also to increase memory and to realize "cyber sync" - invisible communication with others It is. This technology makes it easy to access information whenever and wherever you need it.

As in patients with Parkinson's disease, we transplanted thousands of people with brain fragments that can successfully control movement and monks with cochlear implants that can achieve hearing. However, when it comes to strengthening brain and non-medical purposes without obstacles, it causes ethical and safety problems. According to last year's survey, 72% of Americans were not interested in brain implants because brain implants can improve memory and intelligence. However, some think that strengthening the healthy brain, including Christopher Koch, Chief Scientific Officer of Allen Brain Science Institute and Gary Marcus, a professor of psychology at New York University, is inevitable. They used the breast implant analogy - breast surgery was developed for the reconstruction and correction of birth defects after mastectomy, but later became popular with breast enhancement. They say that brain implants can follow the same path

This is the most common talk about how people grow to singularity. People will embed chips in their brains, which will expand their mental abilities. With these chips, people need access to the Internet to download the entire book directly to their brains, store the schedule on a chip, and instead of doing calculations quickly and easily, computers are not needed. This story is a serious misunderstanding, assuming that chips can do what we already have on our mobile phones and formulate an epoch-making "enhancement" that will change the world. I do not think so

As with any other, the most rational and general concern regarding the embedding of RFID chips is an unknown problem. What can I use tomorrow? According to CEO Todd Westby, Wisconsin's parents wanted (and forever) whether they could embed GPS enabled devices in their children (by the way this is the new season for Black Mirror). "The theme of" The Arkangel "episode) But this, of course, poses an ethical question: What happens if the child refuses to be disconnected? What if they do not know what to do?
