Plautus (OP) User ID: 933740 United States 01/23/2011 12:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | well the issue of the missing girl wouldn't be an issue if they grew her underground. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1154372Yes it would be much easier if the girl was utterly unknown, but this baby was supposedly born on 9/11/2001 and was featured in a book with other such babies. I'm not saying they're all clones, but who knows, maybe they are. Maybe that's the "yearbook" for all the participants in a batch of cloning. This would have started at least 10 years ago, all the technology necessary existed then, too. They say this little girl supposedly shot in Tucson was in her school's little pretend government. She was also one of those little "beauty queens", like poor little Jonbenet Ramsey. If you ask me dressing up little girls in evening gowns and high heels and whore makeup is some sick shit, it's just that side of the pedophile line, it's disgusting. I have no doubt her middle class life was very similar to Giffords' upbringing, she even got elected to her school government. If I was caring for Giffords now I'd be on the lookout for her saying things like "I was president of my school!" or generally behaving like a 9 year old girl (playing with a grown man's tie, unbuttoning the top of his shirt, reading Harry Potter and playing with an iPad). This woman who took the girl to the event has said she told the girl just before the shooting "you cold be the next Gabby Giffords", and told her she could have a hunky astronaut husband some day just like Gabby. How ironic would it be if that lady's words were literally true, if this girl's body IS the next Gabby Giffords, and the girl's mind is now in the hunky astronaut's wife's body. They might even get the girl to think it's a good idea, priming her from birth to accept her fate, giving up her fresh body and assuming control over a powerful grown woman's body. |

But in the universe of people recovering from traumatic brain injuries, the Democratic congresswoman from Arizona is fortunate in two very powerful ways. She has access to state-of-the-art care, and her supporters number in the hundreds of millions. That's hardly the norm, to put it mildly. What's more typical is a lonely battle with the insurer for decent therapy -- plus a sense of isolation from friends who want things back to "normal" right away." [link to www.oregonlive.com] This just underlines the stark difference between the way the world treats the "rich and powerful" compared to the way they treat the rest of the peons. That we live in a world where ANYONE has to fight to get decent medical treatment is a travesty of a mockery. Why do these assfuckers who cause all of the problems always get treated the best?

UndercoverAlien User ID: 1244221 Brazil 01/26/2011 04:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been exploring this idea a bit in another thread and I thought it was time for this go get its own thread. Quoting: PlautusI think it's possible Giffords has undergone a partial brain transplant into the body of a clone of Giffords born 9 years ago. We've been cloning animals since the sixties, so a human clone is no hurdle today, it's readily accomplished. Sheep farmers have been doing it since the nineties. As far as I know there are no laws against human cloning, but there was a federal funding ban in the United States. As for brain transplants, partial brain transplants have been successful in animals, so doing it in a human is plausible. The main hurdle to overcome is rejection. This rejection is mooted if you transplant into a cloned host. Throw in a few fetal stem cells to knit the brain tissue together and the rest is recovery. If you survive you become a walking advertisement for the service. If you were going to carry this out covertly you'd have some explaining to do. You'd have to explain why the little girl disappeared. Presumably she'd be given a different identity, an adult in a 9 year old's body, the classic "if I knew then what I know now" scenario. You'd also have to explain why the adult's body suddenly underwent massive brain surgery and started acting lobotomized (at worst) or like a 9 year old (if they transplant the child's brain tissue into the adult body instead of throwing it out). All of the technology described is well within our present medical capabilities, all that's required is the will to do so. If you were 31, and were given this option to radically extend your life at the expense of a clone grown just for you, would you take it? You'd have 9 years to think it over and 9 years to grow older all the while knowing that little clone of you is just starting its life. Dude, wtf??? Are you saying that the little "9-11" girl Christine was a clone of Gabrielle Giffords and her brain was transplanted to the original Giffords?? Or are you saying that already there was an ADULT CLONED Gabrielle Giffords, waiting to donate the brain to the original one??? Make yourself clear!!! The subject is delicate and this thread is a mess!!! "Do or do not. There is no try." (Yoda) |

The subject is delicate and this thread is a mess!!! The parts of the brains involved would be the parts that contain memories and personality. Both skulls would have to be opened up. After the transplant stem cells would be used to knit each transplant into its host. There would be no rejection issues because the tissue is all the same genotype. Even the stem cells could come from unused clone embryos. The cloned child would presumably be prepped for her new life as an adult, one she knows and idolizes. She could even be told exactly what the end result will be without telling her that her skull is going to be cracked open and parts of her brain scooped out. They could just tell her look when you're 9 years old you're going to have an operation and be turned into an adult, it'll be just like in that movie. The motive on the part of Giffords would be to extend her life span. The child could be promised everything, then given only enough to ensure the transplanted brain matter stayed happy. They could even implant devices to stimulate pleasure and pain to control the 9 year old intellect. Using such a reward and punishment system they could train that 9 year old's intellect to do whatever they wished. Giffords herself could even wield the controls. Imagine that, being a 40 year old brain in a 9 year old's body, controlling the 9 year old brain that's in your old body. Can anyone think of a way to selfishly exploit such a situation?

I knew something was up with Christina, because her face, and her hair, and everything was just perfect and beautiful. But she wasn't talking. And she wasn't moving.'" No mention of a sucking chest wound. If the bullet hit her heart or a major artery in the chest she would have died almost instantly. yet she was apparently the last to die, she died in the hospital. What exactly did that bullet hit in her chest that killed her? The paramedics reportedly did CPR on her, was it even a chest wound? CPR is a last resort in gunshot wounds in any case, it's almost never works. Why would they do CPR on her if she was alive on the scene and died in the hospital?

"Tracy Neish ’01, treasurer for the Cornell Club of Southern Arizona, worked closely with Hileman on club events and served in Giffords’ Tucson District Office as an office manager during the summer of 2007." It seems there are more than one Cornell alumni connected to Giffords and her campaigns. "Giffords, who earned a master's degree in regional planning from Cornell in 1997 and serves on the President's Council of Cornell Women, was re-elected to her third term last November in a close race against Tea Party favorite Jesse Kelly."

[link to www.news.cornell.edu] This kind of stem cell research would be of great benefit in partial brain transplants. Her position on the science and technology committee could very well make her privy to cutting edge medical technologies and radical life extension procedures like a partial brain transplant.
