I have to agree with this wholeheartedly. I'm just finishing up my undergrad in molecular biology. I've been working in a lab doing research for the last year and a half, and it sucks. As an earlier comment had pointed out, the post-doc I w

In the anesthesia, you would not be dead since there is obviously still brain activity. With moving your consciousness into a machine slowly, that would work for the exact reason you said; it's the same as the body replacing your cells. I t

I agree. In this thought experiment, the consciousness is just copied. It wouldn't affect his original consciousness, though the "new" version would also feel as though it was him. I've had this same thought experiment many times when think

I think rather than trying to get universities to change from a system they're familiar with, it might be better to focus on software for elementary and high schools. My mother is a teacher at an elementary school, and all their grades, amo

At the University of Pittsburgh, Blackboard is used, and I've never really had too many complaints about it. The one thing that does bother me is the discussion board. In one of my classes, we're required to participate in a discussion boar

1. There is little to nothing preventing competitors, though I would be surprised if anyone can compete with us on price. 2. I agree. A startup is inherently risky and we are taking every precaution we can. 3. Error rates are effectively 0%

We've discussed putting how we do the test on the site, but concluded that we were best off not disclosing that information, seeing as no other genetic testing companies explain the techniques they use to do the testing. I guess you could c

I don't think they can. The reason they use the "decellularized heart" is because they need a scaffold for the cells to grow on. This has basically been what's holding back growing organs. They may, however, be able to use another mammal's

The biggest problems re going to be cancer, genetic problems that only arise as we age, and perhaps most important of all, neurodegenerative diseases. The problem is that our cells are pre-programmed to only divide a fixed number of times,

This basically is a cure for diabetes. Basically, part of the protein acts as a recognition site for transporters into the cell and into the nucleus. I assume the protein itself is a transcription factor which will activate genes required f
