A #BrainImplant changed her life. Then it was removed against her will.

Her case highlights why we need to enshrine #NeuroRights in law.

Take the case of #RitaLeggett, an Australian woman whose experimental brain implant changed her sense of agency & self. She told researchers that she "became one" with her device.

She was devastated when, two years later, she was told she had to remove the implant because the company that made it went bankrupt.
