What if we could simulate the human brain? (keplerlounge.com)

If one or two dozen human genes specific to brain development (out of the approximately 20,000 total in the human genome) can be spliced into other primates, then in a country where these would not in any way be legally considered human it might be possible to perform experiments on the resulting (legally) animal brains to allow creation of such a simulation. Of course we all know no country is performing such gene splicing, cough, cough.
