Brain To Brain Interfaces (B2B interfaces)

It’s no Vulcan mind meld, but brain-to-brain interfaces (BBI) have been achieved, allowing for direct communication from one brain to another without speech. The interactions can be between humans or between humans and animals.

More info here: http://reilly.nd.edu/outreach/emerging-ethical-dilemmas-and-policy-issues-in-science-and-technology-2015/brain-to-brain-interfaces/

Let's have a formal discussion / debate about the ethical implications of this, and it coming into the future.

Questions to consider:

  1. Should this be allowed in general? Are there privacy concerns?
  2. If it is to be allowed, what could we do to keep thoughts in check? Is it possible to keep the human mind in check?

Take 5 minutes with your neighbors and think about what your opinion is on this ethical dilemma! Are you for or against?
