EDIT: For those to lazy to read for 30 seconds to find out what the link is about, its regarding an old top secret experiment where they took a guy's brain out of his body and put it in a holding jar,with transmitters on it, and then put receptors in his head to recieve the waves. He was able to function completely fine, and the scientists made a computer copy of his brain. They can now switch who can control him..the computer or his real brain...and yeah, its pretty fuking cool.

It almost read like something out of a Jules Verne novel. Also, I can't see how this would have been published if this really happened.

Its not so much the validity of the matter, its the issues it brings forth. It raises the question that if a complete duplicate of you is made, which one is you? Could you create two bodies and put the duplicate of your brain in one, and still be called "you" in one place at one time? Or are you two people in two places at one time?

Just the whole idea of being able to consider your consciousness seperate from your body and mind.....

yup.

er..107.. I liked it enough to post it. In between reading how white people **** complete ***, and black people are oppressed, this reading seemed cool enough to post.

exccccccccuusssseeee me. (say that in the pink panther voice, and itll sound funnier)

If they could do that in 1978, I would shit-a-brick.
