Typically the media coverage here has been misleading and bombastic. Like the line about every Monkey being euthanized. That's just the experimental end point. They were always going to be euthanized because doing ex-vivo examination is super important here.

Hard to say if anything was particularly wrong here. Implanting devices into the brain is extremely invasive and there's issues that can crop up in even perfectly peformed surgieries. Then testing a new mechanical foriegn object that is very complex? I expect many failures and imperfections before success.

The only thing that seems likely is that the teams were rushed by management, probably giving less time to adapt from surgery to surgery.
