I mean, at some point a treatment for the disabled has to be tested on the disabled.

There's a lot wrong with Musk, but testing a medical device on the target patients is hardly unethical.

    When some stupid high percentage of animal test subjects die from the test, you would think they'd work on the product more before moving forward. Instead they're like "welp caused paralysis and death in the majority of our animal test patients, this is totally ready for human tests!"
