How can it be animal cruelty? Scientists know that insects, such as moths and beetles are not self aware - so they do not even know if they have died? Answer that?

I think this could be a revolutionary technologie but still we must not forget that biologic systems make us humans not machines. Anyway this project could help out the the rescue teams if the cyborgs could be RC

That is not the point of this research. This research, most likely lead by biomedical engineers is done so that we can learn how electrical stimulation of the cns can control body members. The application of this research may one day be used to help quadraplegics use electrical signals from their own brain to move their limbs.

Biomedical engineers have already had moderate success in this aspect, but they have a long way to go to reach full mobility.
