Re: Brain Transplant
A brain cannot be transplanted. Aside from time delay and blood plumbing considerations, there is no way to hook up the eyes and spinal cord. Zero sensory input and paralyzed; machine breathing and tubes everywhere. YOU volunteer. Screaming into vacuum for there rest of my life is not my idea of a good time.
A human body is severely tapped keeping one brain alive. Brains have huge exclusively aerobic metabolism and enormous heat production. Getting raw materials in and wastes out is a near thing. Herbavores can be run to death by carnivores on a hot day. Their brains literally melt (no cerebral rete mirabile). As for the science fiction aspects...
