DIY coma on-demand, Knock yourself out! Options

[Bodak]

A character with a Pain Editor (M&M.73) and Intelligence 1 (an Ork or Troll shouldn't be too difficult to imagine) activates the Pain Editor, gaining +1 Willpower at the cost of -1 Intelligence.

"Because bioware is created to match the user's physiology, any Attribute bonuses conferred by bioware are treated as natural and unaugmented. In other words, they count as changes to the character's base Attributes." (M&M.77)

So the character now has a natural, unaugmented, Intelligence of zero.

Do you think cybersurgeons require patients to score above a certain threshold on an IQ test prior to implantation to mitigate the risk of litigation but at the cost of being sued for ableism? If not, what happens when such characters activate their implant? Apart from them automatically failing every Perception test (it's worse than the mere +6 to TNs for having the Blind flaw).
