That would be a pretty macabre experiment. But I would guess that you would still be you, but with the after effects of a stroke. The larger the volume of the cut, the larger the damage. That would be the a form of brain transfusion---an in

I'm unsure how you mean "extreme diet." If you harvest seeds of wheat which we cannot eat normally (we're not birds!) and have to grind it up into a fine powder, then add water, leavening, and sometimes sugar to make it "palatable", which
