transplants and prosphetics

[The11thDr.]

Do you not find these disagreeable?

Corpses dont need to walk but living people do...But some prosphetic limbs can be better in some ways than a natural one...

Would you have skin or a "pegleg"?(PIRATES ARE AWSUM) or not at all...

I wouldn't want to replace a good limb with prosphetic. Doesn't seem right to me, but at least noone's life is in jeopardy.

I thought it was "prosthetic." Anyway, if you don't have a limb, I'm sure one would be good to have! I wouldn't replace a limb unless it were really damaged. I don't agree with cosmetic ones, unless someone has had breast cancer or you're born with some abnormality. Pirates steal and kill people, so I don't think they're awesome. =P

I was just going with the flow as didn't want to cause embarrassment.

Hey i dont mind finding out that i did something wrong, no need to worry about embarressing me. I actually like to be corrected, or to find out that something I know needs a little bit of revision. I kind of do want to build up a accurate picture of the universe in my head, i guess that is kind of difficult because the universe is a LOT bigger than me, but there are also more possible connections in my brain than atoms in the universe...So maybe with the right guidance such a "small" being can understand a vast and empty universe.

Anyway, I dont think I would have a transplant, it would feel kind of weird having a dead person of a different age's arm attached to your body. I prosthesis could probably do something awesome and you wouldnt really need to "keep it strength up" so to say, but if you had robotic limbs...would it decrease how much of a human you are?

I was just humouring my own mistake.

Of course not.

[The11thDr.]

what about if you had your brain replaced or even just part of it...

So could they make you MORE human? Is a person with a cat or with a phone or with the things that humans use more human?

When you become a Christian, there is a sense in which part your brain is replaced.

What would you mean, how can becoming christian change what your brain is like...Sounds strange, clarify.
