Counter argument: we don’t need to keep artificially increasing the lifespans of sick and elderly people.


It doesn’t do that. Theoretically it could restore vision to someone born blind. Or enable a person paralyzed by an accident to walk again

It could improve the quality of life of elderly people who are dealing with dementia but doesn’t extend their life. Just could make it worth living

You can't restore something they never had.

...yet. I've followed Neuralink for sometime now and I've always thought Elon's endgame is somehow developing a way to upload one's consciousness.

Either way, if it heals Parkinson's or Alzheimer's then I'm with it, spaceman. Make it happen.
