Both articles, although in my
opinion light on details, are still quite accurate and

am surprised that such a mainstream non-geek magazine would
be covering
these topics -- that fact to me at least is more significant
than the
content of the two articles:
THE ETHICS OF BRAIN SCIENCE
THE FUTURE OF MIND CONTROL
### To me it's quite worrisome that the mainstream media are
beginning to gnaw at the freedom of science in yet another field. The
articles sound like incitement to commit yet more laws, which could
significantly interfere with the kind of work I want to clinically apply
throughout my career as a neurologist - the development of treatments for
neurodegenerative disorders, including electric brain stimulation, stem cell
implantation, and modification of cell genomes and organelles.
