X-Message-Number: 3512 Newsgroups: sci.cryonics From: (Nick Outram) Subject: Re: Genetics and Neural Connections Message-ID: <> References: <> Date: Thu, 15 Dec 1994 14:55:36 GMT Hi, I've read with interest some of the recent mails to this newsgroup and would like to ask if the point of 'mapping' someones brain (neurons,synapses, etc) is to create a new brain or to help repair damage to an existing one should that occur. I would also like to ask if and when a person would become aware that there brain -or bits of it, was being repaired. For instance if artificial (say nano-technology) bits of 'brain' where substituted for real brain at what percentage replacement does the person say "Hey thats not real brain!" - or are they just aware of losing memory, held in those sections of brain that where replaced, stored there since the copy was taken. Thanks, Nick. there since the time the 'copy' was taken. Thanks, Nick. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3512
