>I think people overestimate the value of a riskless life when you have nothing to lose.

I understand being desperate for improved QoL and I've been part of countless clinical trials for my own medical issue. Quite honestly, I'll continue to participate in all the research I can until an effective treatment is found, so I dont pass any judgement on the patients.

But, I find this research unsettling though I cant quite put my finger on why. Something about an egotistical billionaire using desperately ill and/or disabled people as guinea pigs feels very dystopian. To me, it feels like this is another ego project for Musk, and that rubs my the wrong way. There's also the issues around a lack of transparency, blurry ethics, etc.

That said, I'm under no illusions traditional pharmaceutical/R&D companies are the 'good guys' or necessarily altruistic. However, it doesnt feel exploitative the way Musk's trials have felt to me.
