Has anyone sat down and tried to itemise all the taboos this would break?
I don't consider myself especially squeamish, bit this concept creeps the hell out of me!
- jlgreco 13y agoI don't see why it should be an issue in a world where we already do transplants. It is just more of the same, an iteration, albeit a very impressive advance.
- Dylan16807 13y agoAre you creeped out by the idea of an arm transplant?
- agumonkey 13y agoWas there no resistance to the first organ transplants ? I bet many people weren't willing to allow it or even benefit from it.
- Pitarou 13y agoHeart transplants caused a lot of upset at first, because folk beliefs about the heart as the seat of the soul still lingered.

- conexions 13y agoHere's a short story on a similar subject, the ethics of a brain transplant. Won a Hugo in 1973. http://docs7.chomikuj.pl/1852561988,PL,0,0,Frederik-Pohl---The-Meeting.txt http://docs7.chomikuj.pl/1852561988,PL,0,0,Frederik-Pohl---T... Ignore the first 2 paragraphs. Its the end of an introduction by Issac Asimov from an anthology of Hugo winners.
