      I got an idea for a new subject.How about neurological stem cells.I mean the type of Stem Cells that could be grafted onto the Brain.Those type of Stem Cells do not exist as of yet,but just think of what theywould be able to do!They could provide an ethically sound alternative to Fetal Brain Cell Grafts.And if they could be made to regenerate to a certan extent without mutating,they could "fill in"the space left over after a Brain Tumer has been removed and replace severly damaged sections of the Brain.Kind of makes you think of Terri Schivo(or however her last name is spelled)dosent it?

        I dont know much about brain stuff. IS that how they work? you just reload the hardware and the rest of the brain will automatically install the software.. I thought the specific functions of an individual's neuro activity was very closely related to the tissue itself, how it had grown over time.

        I understand that their are holographic ideas about how the brain works, so are you alluding to a situation where the new tissue would simply be able to complete out the holo projection?

        More detail of these details please.

          The human brain can think for itsself and come up with original ideas.A computer only knows what is programmed into it and cannot think up new concepts.That is the difference between a computer and the Human Brain.And thats what they mean when they say "the Human Brain is more than the sum of its parts".A brain graft would work with the connections of the individual brain cells but it would be up to the Human Mind itsself to decide what would be stored and prossesed in the new brain material.I hope this ansers youre question.

                okay. calmly:

                I am drawing an analogy.. between physical biological brain tissue equalling the physical hardware of a computer... and then the memory, emotions/personanlity, etc being like the software of the computer.

                Im not sure how closely related one's perosnality/memories/etc is to the actual physical tissue of the brain.

                if you graft in physical brain tissue, it would be comming into the game after the brain has already developed set patterns of neurological activity, and I was curious as to how the already existing personality/memory bank would assimilate the grafted tissue into its process of self-discovery and evolution.

                    jeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzz..

                    this is silly, man.

                    1. fascist does not equal anti-sematic. A square is rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. So I didnt mean to imply that, nor was I serious about the fascist thing. I was just reminding you that I did not recognize your authority to demand that I 'should' be one way or 'shouldnt' be another way. And I was trying to see if thats what you really found your version of buddhism to be about. It was always my understanding that buddhism was about one's OWN personal journey inwards to return to the bliss states of nirvana where the illusions of the mind/ego held no sway.. I was implying that by demanding my path look a certain way to you that you were acting out a 'fascist' tendancy to control and demand that your ideology be applied to others besides your self.

                    I were you, to avoid this kind of internal friction in the future I would suggest just doing a little more work on understanding what other people might be referring to when they say 'fascist' (I didnt say Nazi). I would also recommend a little research into 'Anarchy' .. to make a blanket statement like you did that 'Anarchy is wrong' - well, .. it shows little insight into what anarchy actually is, and ... well.. it doesnt sound very buddhist.

                    Im sorry you got so upset. Buddhism rocks, my man, .. but this agression, it will not stand, dude. it will not stand.

                    "its a league game, dude, mark it as a zero, his foot crossed the line."
                    "walter.."
                    "mark it zero, dude. league game"
