  • @Foodfast123 To people that say they don't want animals to suffer, the natural cycle is kill or be killed through natural evolution of being the weaker species we got bigger and badder by being smarter have pride in your Human Race we overcame the odds. We do this to improve our chance of surivival and knowledge. If the monkey was in our place it would do the same thing

  • dude im scared.

  • @24199312 the one with the brain i guess :S

  • @24199312 - There's no simple answer I don't think. Individuals are unique because of their experiences, memories and thoughts, and these all exist in the brain. However our actual body (below the kneck) is hugely important in defining who we are; it's the physical form we're used to, so any fundamental change to our body afftects our sense of self. Then there is the issue of whether you believe in a soul.. .

  • I have a question O.o if your brain will be on another's person body then wo will be alive you or the another person :|

  • @lifemetall - I can understand why you have a problem with this. If a living brain could be removed from a subject and then kept alive, say in a jar, without causing brain damage, and it were to remain conscious, what kind of nightmarish existence would that be? Without any way to interact with the world, the disembodied brain would have no external stimuli, its experience would be totally internalised, it would be a living hell.

  • brainssssssssssssssssss brainsssssssssssssssssss 

  • Pagans playing god

  • @manoharsinghbisht however we're also playing with nature and playing with nature is frankly not the best idea, sure it's fantastic to have those things for specific people who are currently suffering or need it but we should not mess around healthy individual and try to make them super-human.
