So If this ever works out. Would the person then have the Identity, Character and the memories of the donor?

If yes, wouldn’t that be a possible way to live “forever”? I mean whenever the body is too weak to live on, you can just get your brain transplanted into a new body and thus are able to live forever, yeah? LOL What If you transplant the brain of a man into the head of a woman?

Re: Brain Transplant

Do you think others can’t use google to give you answer to such an obvious and cliche topic ?

Re: Brain Transplant

What about people giving me their OWN thoughts about a hypothetical operation?

And how exactly is this a cliche topic?

Re: Brain Transplant

Do a google search and you will find out. This topic has been beaten to death in each and every forum on the internet.

Re: Brain Transplant

Then every topic is cliche and we should just stop creating threads all together. I’m sure that pretty much every topic has been discussed a bunch of times on the internet, or even here on GS before.

Re: Brain Transplant

All of those topics are not cliche. This one is.

Re: Brain Transplant

According to you logic they are. Since If you would google it, you would get results from a bunch of forums where the topic has been beaten to death.

Re: Brain Transplant

I am just fooling around . :smiley: , since you came across so aggressive on my reply to your starting post. If you had let it slide I would have too.
Live and let live. You want to discuss anything , you can if mods allow. If I wish to google and post my reply , you should not have an issue with that either. Fair ?

Re: Brain Transplant

That would be a highly highly complex operation and we still have a loooong way to go before we can actually carry out human brain transplant.. But, to keep it brief, all I would say is that it is very easy to train your brain… If you’re right-handed for example, try writing with your left hand and you wouldn’t be very good at that… but keep practising for a few minutes and your brain will learn this very quickly and you will become better at writing with your left hand..

I haven’t read much on this topic since this isn’t my area of interest so I don’t know whether the brain, once extracted, would even hold onto the knowledge and memories that it did while it was inside the body of a living person… But even if a man was to psychologically turn into a woman after receiving a woman’s brain, even if a person was to develop a completely different personality, it would be very easy to re-train the brain.

Re: Brain Transplant

The brain is a tissue. It does age and degenerate, so living forever in that way is likely not plausible.
