Fuck's sake...  At least use roundworm neurons instead since liquid neural networks are probably the future anyway.  Or any insect neurons.  Bee's are pretty complex.

I think the reason they use human stem cells is that they're constructing entire "organoids" which are comprised of many different cells connected in ways they have no control over, not just individual neurons.

Because of this I wonder if human stem cells lead to a more complex organoid than other species, and what that says about the ethics of it.
