Researcher's Ethical Concerns About Using Adaptive Deep Brain Stimulation for Enhancement

I found this a nice article to read as opposed to a purely technical aspect to Deep Brain stimulation as a treatment method. It is always interesting to see what people think about certain types of treatments, especially the researchers and scientists behind their development. I liked looking at the different testimonials and quoted opinions given from this article. Definitely a different discussion than what you normally see, but an interesting one nonetheless!
