Head Transplants Now "Technically Possible"

[laklak]

I'm looking forward to my new body. It's going to be 6 foot 6 inches tall, 300 pounds, with a 12 inch dick and black as the ace of spades. Whatchu lookin at, cracker motherfucker?

I'd rather be able to transfer its contents onto another medium. I wouldn't require much space or expensive hardware. You'd probably find my unit in the Walmart's of the future.

That's going to look pretty fucked up with your head stuck on top of it!

I'd make the stitching really obvious, perhaps in a day-glo pink, to really set off the contrast...

I wouldn't even want a meatbag. Full cyborg for me thanks

Well the current heart and lung machines and replacements for other necessary organs, intake of food is fairly easy if you don't mind pre-processed supplements, but dialysis etc - the technology is still too big to be fitted into a normal sized humanoid robot body. So you'll have to be an eighteen ton, diesel powered, hydraulic robot tank. I hope that's OK?

Dunno about that.
You would only need to support the brain. Everything else is in the bin. So you wouldn't need much dialysis etc. It could all be smaller. Just a single blood maintenance unit, and a pump. Of course, the blood maintenance unit would have to be pretty clever. But not necessarlily all that big.

Butlerian Jihad, here we come.

I didn't say "GAY 6 foot 6 inches tall, 300 pounds, with a 12 inch dick and black as the ace of spades".

Damn this thread.
I'm going to have to watch the Re-Animator films again now.

If you could transfer the brain into a machine, you would not need it to be a robot, or even have eyes. Just a powerful computer feeding virtual reality data into your brain.

Forget having Jessica Alba's body. How 'bout a lifelike virtual reality replica of her body with you in a virtual reality replica of Hercules on top of her?

I don't know why, but the expression "a neuroscientist in Turin" immediately made me doubt what followed.

The Italians are a special breed.

Anyway, you could certainly connect up all the bits. But making it all work again is a different matter.
It's not like you have black wires, and red wires, and a wiring diagram. Each individual will have a different layout. It's not like making one car out of two identical halves.

All you can do it connect up as best you can, and hope some of it eventually works.
They haven't transplanted a mouse's head onto another mouse's body yet, and made it work. It's a different kettle of fish, altogether.

It's a different kettle of fish.

I think they may struggle to get volunteers for the clinical trials.....

It does conjure up visions of hospital wards full of heads being kept alive until a donor body becomes available....

Talking heads will become something more than a media cliche...
