	<htmltext>An anonymous reader points to this explanation of a <a href="http://www.physorg.com/news180620740.html">brain-machine interface for real-time synthetic speech production</a>, which has been successfully tested in a 26-year-old patient. From the article:  <i>"Signals collected from an electrode in the speech motor cortex are amplified and sent wirelessly across the scalp as FM radio signals. The Neuralynx System amplifies, converts, and sorts the signals. The neural decoder then translates the signals into speech commands for the speech synthesizer."</i></htmltext>

To verify your ability to make choices in this manner, I will ask you a few questions.
If you want to indicate a YES answer, look up.
Look down to indicate NO.
Do you understand this method of communication?
(Patient looks up) 
Would you like us to set fire to your genitals with a propane torch?
(Patient looks down) 
Would you like this young nurse to rub her naked breasts against your face?

Would you like us to try and give you the ability to use words via a computer?

	<htmltext>How long or how many real or faked terrorist attacks will it take until such an electrode is mandatory and thoughts are registered and stored in central databases? Call me paranoid, but if something like this is technically possible it <b>will</b> be done. Of course, if not to prevent terrorist attacks then to protect our children. So the first to get this electrode will be sex offenders. The usual way to soften resistance against the removal of civil rights.

True, the first versions now are still very primitve and not usuable for such a purpose, but compare the computers today with the ones twenty years ago.</htmltext>

That seems an unnecessary piece of anti-science paranoia. The people doing the experiment are not the white coated demons of science fiction. Even if they were as amoral as you suggest, it would sdtill be practical of them to get the patient's permission before starting an experiment that took over three years to set up.

On the radio recently, I heard about the difficulties the doctors had with an even more extreme 'locked-in' case that had no eye movement. They got the patient to communicate one bit at a time by imagining tasting milk or lemon juice for minutes at a time. This caused the patient's saliva to change pH. This was not simply "think lemons if it is ok to operate", followed by "oh, bother, best of three?" - they had to establish that the intelligence was present, understanding what was being said, and replying in a reliable manner.
