[QUOTE=Hiccuper;18393697]Not trying to go all PETA here, but it sounds like you're saying it's perfectly ethical to capture a human being, put implants in his brain without his consent and cause him to run around the place blindly smashing into things.[/QUOTE]
It's not ethical, Ethics is what prevents us from doing exactly that. That's not to say it wouldn't be a good idea.

I saw it in a movie, It must be true.

The beetle didn't bother me, but that is creepy as shit.

And the music didn't help at all.
The future is going to be fun.
[QUOTE=DainBramageStudios;18391489]Is the insect actually alive with this? It's ethically dubious to have complete control over another living entity, even if it has a brain the size of a pinhead.[/QUOTE]
Bla bla fucking bla. I bet the insect won't even mind having metal parts and what-not.
I mean, would you mind being a terminator?

The brain is not even size of pinhead. Insects don't actually have anything close to brain. Their nervous system is barely centralised into some form of node, however, it's not called a brain.
Insects do not have even the slightiest gleam of self awearness, and to my knowledge aren't even able to learn (compared to mammals).
Even in nature, they are nothing much than primitive biological machines, without any sign of intelligence nor emotion.
I say that controlling insects is nothing worse than constructng complete robots to control.
I love it how the beetle is alive and they are just flinging it against walls and slamming it into the ground.
