>What happens when you wake up inside of an environment of complete sensory-deprivation? If scientists determine that ‘normal’ brain activity can continue outside of the body, by EKG for example, is it a form of unlawful imprisonment to keep someone “alive” in that condition without their expressed consent?<p>Well this is just disturbing. a real life purgatory.
Could they put the brain in a cyborg body...and extend life ad infinitum that way? Seems to me this might be the ticket to immortality.. Way better than downloading your brain, just move it to an indestructible vessel.
This is truly nightmare material. I shudder to think how this could be used to extract information from someone once the tech progresses to where it's possible to communicate with these brains.
