It seems like we’d simulate the heck out of non-intelligent organisms first, before moving on to human brain. And by then, we’ll probably figure out the ethics behind this type of activity or ban it altogether.

Plenty of horrific things are both banned in most jurisdictions and still rampant all over the world. If the tech exists, then the horrors will happen and will keep happening unless every person can be monitored all of the time.
