Couldn't we grown an entire body, preferably without a brain to avoid ethical issues, and then we "just" need to perfect brain-transplants.
Maybe plant a new one every 10 years.. I'd not mind living in the 25-35 year range perpetually.
It'd be so awesome, could make sure that body gets the right nutrition and exercise and then I can take it over and let it decay for 10 years before getting a new one to trash :D
- mikkergp 4y agoI wonder if there would be some emergent property of a body without a brain that would make it… sentient is probably the wrong word. Trying to do everything but the brain could inspire like stem cells to create nerves and “brain” cells somewhere other than the head.
- dusted 4y agoInteresting thought. The reverse is likely to be true as well, that is, a brain growing without any inputs from or outputs to a body, might not develop sentience.
