Science grows a human brain in a lab

I'm not so sure. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Similar question, what came first, matter or consciousness?

Without consciousness to perceive the matter, would it exist at all? How does a brain magically become self aware?

Well, and also the possibility of strong AI - a sentient machine with superhuman powers. Now, would said machine be well-disposed towards humanity or would it look upon us as insignificant and disposable, like ants.

The first few concepts of eugenics didn't work. Pretty soon we'll be able to grow our own kids in a vat, never lose those pre-baby bodies, and be assured the human race is pure. Win win win, mirite?

I think newborn babies are not self-aware, so the hardware (the brain) comes first, and consciousness arises out of the brain.

I think the brain is like a receiver of consciousness from somewhere else. However, it needs to be structurally intact for the message to get through. kind of like a television set. If you have a properly functioning television, it will decode the signal and you will get a picture.

Similarly, once you have a structurally intact and "normal" brain, I would expect consciousness would arise from it.

The Brain...sure. Human (Scientists) can play with it...but they will never be able to mess with the consciousness of Humanity, or rather the...Spirituality of Humanity...because that is something that can NOT be re-written.

BKKB...Become Kindness, Kindness Becomes.

Pure and simple!

not really

we have a good idea

and it's gonna cost em during the Millennium

And if somebody drops one down the staircase or pours coffee on it while eating breakfast? I've worked in tech support, you'd be amazed at some of the crazy stories I've heard.

I have also read its a good 40 some days before a newborn is "conscious". Consciousness i do believe does come from somewhere outside of the brain as well.

Maybe if they could create an exact human brain in a lab it would create consciousness by itself gathering frequencies from an unknown source? Who the heck knows. My far out question is, how was the first brain ever created? haha. Either way, all of this money spent on playing God and creating brains could be used in a more practical sense. Then again, money itself isn't very practical for liberty and freedom to begin with.

SHUT YER FUCKING POTATOE TRAP MORON

NICE MOUSTACHIO

now that is the kind of reptilian i could get behind

No..its trying to convince everyone the world is doomed because the jerusalem post ignores the doctrine of rebirth.

I don' think we really wanna know - the stuff I've read about is horrific enough - such as humans being raised in cages as food for other beings, cross-breeding, the list goes on

Thanks for bringing that up cuz if always wondered what the difference between rebirh and reincarnation is. can you help a brother out and explain that to me?

Your chats have air conditioning?

AND retards?

what's next a snack table?

if that's the case i'm just gonna poke this lemon with my peppermint stick and take a big old drink!

i dont know!

bbl later taking down consciousness matrix to install a new iteration of some markov chains

i'll be much faster

byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye!

Tranhumanism is the ultimate work of the archons. Respect nature, and know your boundaries.

To have a understanding of oneself.. to be aware, you must have outside stimulus to make you aware you are somwhere. If you were to Add some eyes, which are a direct link to the brain and some ears then you might get close. Imagine a deaf dumb and blind 1 day old. Helen Keller comes to mind..

They can grow a brain, but can't find a cure for cancer?

Hmmm... So they are growing a human brian. Some might order one...

Watch these sick fucks go nano with this shit. Just watch.

They have grown a giant brain that is orchestrating WWIII to wipe us out and grow more soulless brains.

My uncle told me everything.

I don't know but if they keep this up they will need to develop the ninja turtles for the real in order to counteract the megathreat of Crane the Brain.





Honestly since I was in elementary school hanging out with my friends we taught eachother to face our fear and laugh at pain. You know what I mean? ...laughter is a good stress reliever and when used in conjunction with stressful stimuli you can keep your wits about you and rise above the situation... sorta...

Seriously though, notice how the doctors are publically keeping the brains basically the size of a fetus that under current law could be aborted. I mean the real question to me in the scientific/moral realm is when do these brains get a soul and when does it go from some proteins we can do what we want to into life forms that have feelings.

If they discovered that these little brains had feelings do you think they would announce it? Probably no IMHO because that could rewrite the laws of ethics as they know it and they don't want to work with less brain then they already have...AHEM publically anyway.

yes. yes they do.

hollywood...

So if it supplied with nutrients and oxygen, do you get a MeGa BrAiN! ?



Was that supposed to be funny or just ironic wording?



Riiiiggghht. Uh huh.

Movies were based on real life incidents but now, Life is based on movies
