This seems simultaneously wonderful and horrifying -- how many deaths could be avoided if you could simply get a "body transplant" when things go south with your heart, liver, whatever? Neuroscience would gain a new level of importance for sure.
And does that bring to mind for anyone that weird movie about where you have to purchase minutes of life to stay alive? Anyway, creepy, considering how real the illicit trade in transplant organs is already.
- ddorian43 11y agoEasier to do ogran-transplant than whole body. What we'll need is brain+body backup and we're set (but you have to test backups to know that they function..).
- elcct 11y agoEven better if you could held a head alive without the body for a long period of time. Then you could attach head to a robot or something like that.
