Say in the future, a neural implant can make people moral. This miraculous device can ensure anyone implanted with one will never even consider the thought, much less deeds involving selfishness, wicked or even insane. Then should such a device be made mandatory for all people in a society or even a limited subset? Do you consider the use of this device itself to be moral? Or is freewill or even the illusion of it is essential for us to remain human i.e. with this device, we might very well become machines? And assume a consensus on morality can be achieved as per the individual society in the form of a constitution, a religious book etc.

Who's morality? Is self-preservation selfish?

Define "moral" and I'll find a thousand people who disagree with your definition.
