> Nothing fundamental is stopping us from creating a synthetic one. Ethical considerations are preventing us or at the very least limiting the speed of development. But mostly our lack of knowledge of the brain was what stopped us. Now that we are advancing on all fronts, I think we are going to be forced to deal with the ethics of neural/brain creation/destruction/experimentation. If scientists are able to keep disembodied brains "alive", then it will open up avenues for experimentation and ethical issues. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16924764 There are even ethical issues of hybrid organ growth ( starting from the embryonic level ) where human organs are grown in pigs. The question is whether human cells can travel to pig's brains and cause pigs to be "more conscious". https://www.newsweek.com/it-ethical-grow-human-organs-pigs-4... |
