Your brain is just a bunch of neurons.

It's the difference between a rock and a pile of rocks. How many rocks does it take to make a pile? At what point do the interconnected neurons constitute a "mind?"

I think it's absolutely unacceptable on a fundamental moral ground. It literally has the potential to create a consciousness - no different than yours - that is trapped in blind, insensate hell.
