Another use for this: fixing afflictions with brain connections issues in healthy people. HOWEVER this should be done as an infant. At later age this could cause a personality shift !

What's so inherently horrible about an adult experiencing a personality shift? What makes that worse than performing the same procedure on an infant, who's unable to comprehend or consent to the procedure?

I was more thinking practically: infants don't have a life / lot of expectations yet. Ethically: very good questions!

Well it's mainly something to beware of I suppose. I also don't know if infants have a personality, it's still developing?
