I do.
Might I respectfully ask you to be specific about the differences you see so that I might directly pour my scorn at them instead of having to ridicule them vicariously by ridiculing you?

Absolutely it's wrong. I see no purpose that it serves, other than experimentation.
No, it's not automatically wrong for other purpose either. There are cicumstances I can easily think of when I would find it preferable to steer a chimp by a chip in its brain than to send a human in.
