Its more like they are the first to experiment this rather than "Thinks Up" because ideas are always there people are just waiting for old technology to die down a bit.

Every few years someone tries this, one day the technology will be good enough. In the mean time disabled people make a nice soft target for the experiments and there are sources of funding.

Although I can't detect ears this person does appear to still have a mouth. Is that useful in this experiment or an option?
