I think that Siamese twins who have been joined at the head have probably had separate identities- but I think that's because their brains were only partly joined. If their brains had been completely connected to each other, they probably would have had just one identity.
Besides, even if two...
Somebody emailed it to me
Somebody was going to start a Cryonics facility in Australia and I started talking to them because I wanted to be frozen after I died
anyways, my sister and I both have an account on this...is there a way to delete one so we don't log in as each other...thanks
so would it be impossible to do something like that at the moment or in the near future with bioengineering/something else. Can we do stuff like bioengineering at the moment?
thanks
Somebody said this about genetic engineering..
In theory everything can be done. Everything. Thats the scary part. You can build anything with organic molecules.
Anyways all I wanted to know was...
If you wanted to make two or more brains become one (Physically) could you do that by...
I know but...
say you wanted to merge your brain with that of another (inside another body) so that you could live longer (Eg so that you could use the body of the brain you've merged with, and so that you could expand your brain and live longer as a result)
My question is:
Would we be...
I'm talking about two brains merging to become one brain (or some parts of brains merging to become part of the same brain) though, not brains just sharing blood vessels and such. And I'm not talking about brains that have merged together in the womb or whatever...I'm talking about taking brains...
No I mean like...
Couldn't you PHYSICALLY connect two brains together in a space that was big enough for them (Eg somebodys head) by genetically engineering people whose brains would automatically make all the PHYSICAL connections necessary when given the ability to connect up to another...
sorry, my sister and I both created accounts on here..is there any way to just delete one, then we wouldn't accidently leave each other logged in
thanks
Hypothetically could people genetically engineer brains that would automatically connect up to ours- eg make all the connections necessary- way way in the future?
well I guess my question now is:
Is our brain the only thing we could use to live (percieve and interpret, etc), or could we have "artificial consciousness?" Do you think there's a possibility we could turn the brain into something like an artifical consciousness? (Something that wouldn't...
What makes something alive?
I mean, if a computer- or something like that- can understand commands you type into it, and interpret those commands, doesn't that make it alive in some way?
Could non-biological life forms be "programmed" to feel emotions? I mean, don't we just feel emotions...
