X-Message-Number: 3688 Newsgroups: sci.cryonics From: (Brad Templeton) Subject: Re: Cloning and Neurosuspension Date: Fri, 13 Jan 1995 22:16:41 GMT Message-ID: <> References: <3f4mrf$> Right, but we know that people have severed their spinal cords and become quads and paraplegics but maintained personality, consciousness and sense of self to the best of our ability to determine -- all though they all naturally suffer from depression when this happens. Some motor skills, like "riding a bicycle" (to pick the most ironic) may indeed lie further down. They can all be relearned, I expect, or, to present an interesting possibility, possibly be pre-programmed. Ie. would you like the low level motor skills of a ballet dancer or gymnast? You would still have to learn how to connect your brain up to issue the commands, but once you did, look what would come naturally to you.
