When a BCI can change the person who would have objected to it
PierceLilholt · x · 2026-10-31
The author poses an ethical paradox about brain-computer interfaces: if a BCI can alter the user's personality and judgment, the person who would have objected to it may stop objecting after implantation — the objection itself could be dissolved by the technology. It touches on personal identity and informed consent in the neurotech era.
