I felt like this draft paper by Anders Sandberg was a well-thought-out essay on the morality of experiments on brain emulations. Is there anything you disagree with here, or think he should handle differently?

I think a one-sentence summary, a question, and a link to a draft paper is something that belongs in an open thread and not as it's own post in discussion.
I think the traditional [Link] tag should be added.
