    That's one implication. The word 'I think' will then not exist. But then it depends -> If the body is 'I' or the brain is 'I'.

    I believe if my brain was transfered into a different body and my body a different brain I would consider the brain to be me as the body does not think. Although I know my brain would feel weird in a girls body.

      Yeah she does, but the brain is in some other place of her body, not in the head.

          Do you mean physically moving the brain from one body to another, or simply downloading all the information contained in a brain into another brain (possibly using a third temporary brain as backup storage)? TempBrain = YourBrain; YourBrain = MyBrain; MyBrain = TempBrain; I imagine it would be less painful than having your brain and spinal column removed and replaced (unless you could find a way to detatch the nerve endings from the brain, although I expect that HP Labs are probably working on some kind of connector - now, where's my nerve splicing tool?). :)

          1. In case TempBrain not available what are the possibilities? 2. Either way I need to swap the content, if it is possible to just transfer the information it is good otherwise brain transplant will do.

              Take an example, If both of us changed our brains, I do your works. You do my works. When I look at my face on the mirror, I will think that this is not my body somebody kept my brain here. But you think that I am a ghost and I entered into this body :confused: :(:^);P;):laugh::-D:)

                    Because our thoughts(generated by the brain) make up our conscience and self-awareness, this procedure would be improperly named "Brain Transfer". Instead it should be called "Total Body Transfer" because if would ever going to wake up after such an operation you would realize that YOU live in a different body, not that you have a different brain.

                    No, no, no. Everybody knows that the seat of conciousness is the chakras, so you would have a new brain. be warned, the transfer may mess with your head chakras.

                          I assume that somebody started the transfer on her and then stopped for some reason.

                              Let's imagine... Your body is going to die of an disease or old age, but your brain is still healthy. So the doctors tranfer your brain into the 90% healthy body of a traffic victim who just broke his neck. You wake up in a new body, you see a foreign guy in the mirror and so on. When you finally leave the hospital, people on the street greet you and they ask how you survived your accident. How would it be to explain that you are somebody else? :rolleyes:

                                Yes, and suppose an exception. what is remained is NULL data on both the brains. :laugh:

                                        The complete news: "Controversy continued on Monday as surgeons successfully transplanted little Django's brain into a robot monkey body. Scientists now say human-to-robot brain transplants will be possible within ten years. On a sad note, however, Django died late Tuesday, after drinking his own urine." So the question is: "Would you put your brain in a robot body?"

                                          That would give whole new meaning to "give someone brain".
