Elon Musk's Neuralink should be disqualified from FDA approval, advocacy groups says

An advocacy group of more than 17,000 doctors has petitioned the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to disqualify Elon Musk's Neuralink from receiving approval for its brain implant. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) claims Neuralink has violated the'good laboratory practices' (GLP) regulations, which ensures the quality and integrity of non-clinical laboratory studies, with its'hack job' surgeries and staff'manipulating data.' Some of the animal's deaths were at the hands of Matthew McDougall, the head neurosurgeon, who administered nearly six times the amount of an unapproved'toxic' substance that led to a monkey's death, a former Neuralink employee told DailyMail.com. This was stated in messages written by John Morrison, the study director at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), Merkley added. Elon Musk said his Neuralink is seeking FDA approval to start human trials, but a group is trying to block these efforts.
