This is one of the most terrifying comments I've ever read. The prospect of harvesting or growing brains to use as computing devices isn't just some weird thing from cheap scifi anymore, but something someone out there is actually researching and trying to make work at this very moment.
Growing organs for transplants or meat for consumption is one thing, but using the brain of a living creature purely as a tool is a whole different kind of horror.
