If a brain transplant were feasible, would you be one of the pioneer patients?

Me? No. I want a body replacement.

So in this hypothetical situation, I would also lose my memory, correct? Then my answer would be no.

I would never want my brain replaced. No no no no no no.

One word: Memories.

Do I think it would be a good thing if people could have new brains? Maybe. I can see it being of medical use in extreme cases… severe brain damage, terminal comas, debilitating mental disorder. But a new brain also means a new mind and, well, one’s mind is a terrible thing for an individual to lose.

Only on two conditions. I had severe alzhiemers and there is no cure in site, and two they already captured my memories before I got ill and they can transfer it back into the new brain and wipe out its memories as well.

No thanks. I wouldn’t any longer be. Some other entity, some other awareness unit, would have taken over my body. Noe if you could install a supercharger and a few extra terabytes of memory,, sign me up.

I would like @Jeruba‘s body, if it’s available.

You want my brain? Take it. And good riddance! It causes no end of trouble! I think I’d like a dog brain. They seem to have a comfortable life—at least, the ones that trained their masters properly.

I agree @Pandora, it would only even be useful if I had my memories…but wait, technically wouldn’t you just be getting a body transplant? since “you” is mostly your brain right, you will just be going where your brain goes…

My brain is up for grabs when I no longer need it.

I want Jeruba’s brain, and Cate’s body.

Uh, waitaminit…

I would be willing to have my brain transplanted into a younger, healthier body.
I would prefer it to be a male body because my brain is accustomed to such an environment.

I would love to have an intimate connection to @Jeruba‘s brain because she uses it so well and her brain brings pleasure to my brain. From what I can tell @Jeruba is an extraordinary person, even if she looks nothing like Cate.

I have a serious fluther crush on @Jeruba and a few other remarkable people here.

@Dr_Lawrence I’d take your brain for a while and try it on for size. That sounds so… Hannibal Lecter. I also have a flush (fluther crush) on Jeruba, which is a secret I’m sure no-one knows about.
