Do you mind being more precise about what you find distasteful about it? The paper writes that the larynges came from animals that were deceased due to illness:

  The larynges were harvested from animals that had to be euthanised due to terminal disease unrelated to the respiratory tract in veterinary clinics in Vienna, Austria. The animals’ owners gave their explicit consent for the larynges to be investigated postmortem.

This seems quite different from Musk’s Neuralink to me but I might be missing something.
