Just Learned more in 13 minutes then 6 months of school
Very true
Than*
+Nicole Werstler then was right. Then is an amount of time, than is comparing something.
+Lia Smith ding dong you are wrong
same
On my mobile I could only read "What if you had a brain" I was like hmmm
WildDogXD LMFAO
Must be one tiny phone
did it show …
Small ass phone
WildDogXD what? U mean what would happen if u had a brain transplant
What if he just said " I have no idea what would happen." And just ended the video there
I would die laughing. I could see him doing it too.
It's like another freinkenstine to me and a evil and money today it's all about money and nothing else as they say it is the ROOT OF ALL EVIL a God there is no care of human life, there is no care of nothing no more what people don't realize is the devil comes as an angel of light to and so many are decieved because they don't know any better. I love life but i'm also not that desperate to do something like that to polong my life or for any reason I don't think i'd want to wake up in someone else's body and I wouldn't want to die in someone else's body either that's too sinister to me. I too one hundred percent agree with Albert Instine if it's my time to go let me go elegantly. I'm not sure how to put this but I'll say it like this as time goes on and everything is becoming more advanced the worse it's getting and more dangerous it's becoming I think something like that is going too far and people are playing God , and those of you who are believers you know what I'm talking about, this makes me think about in the Bible in the book of Genesis I believe when a bunch of people came together and created this evil thing before God and tried to build this tall tower up to heaven when God cane down to see what they were doing he knocked it down and as a punishment to the people he confused their languages that they couldn't understand one another and they stopped building the tower and went their separate ways. They tried to put themselves above God to make themselves God's and he wasn't having it. I see it this way if it's his will to allow me a few more years of life he will let me live if not so be it I'd rather roll with the way God made things to be naturally than to even think of having something like that done to me its not for man to go above God like those people tried to do and mess with something like that. No thank you I'd rather keep the body I'm in that God gave me God is bigger and that is why our world is so so screwed up and the evil of that is they got every reasoning in the book behind the evil that they do but one day they are going to be standing before God as we all will be and have to give an account and they will be without excuse.
Ragequit bruh 😩😂
Jacqueline Roundtree fuck religion
First part of the procedure is removal of the head. They perfected that in France in the 1780's.
pong lenis like fuck they did. If they had a chain saw and an ax to cut a tree down they'd go for the dullest axe that's of course if they weren't allowed to use a steak knife. God damn amateurs
Hahahahaaaaa 🤣
Why does the idea of the rich,corrupt,and powerful using a brain transplant to prolong their life jump into my mind whenever I hear this idea ?
+Robert Heienkof the day they discover a complete consiousness transplant, I'd be scared, but as it is, brain does age.
this reminds me of the movie "Self/less"
Unless you can transplant my brain into a robot with a jetpack and laser eyes I'm not interested.
lol yup!
+osriccauldwyn I wouldn't think it'd be too safe to shove a jetpack, a robot and laser eyes all into your head, to replace your brain..
+osriccauldwyn I want a cyborg body like Raiden from Metal Gear.... lol
+osriccauldwyn YES PLZ!
Joe Anias Well played sir, well played.
Brain is the most important organ, said the brain.
That means brains are egoistic
It enrages me to no end not seeing ads on your video.
I just watched the Angry Video Game Nerd's channel where every video uses an intro with violence, explosions, blood and lyrics discussing "Diarrhea shitting and licking assholes".
sometimes an ad doesn't play even if the video is monetized
I love your vids man !
ads are what gives these people money, dont be so selfish
I mean does he count he's been around forever
sometimes contributing to society risks people happiness, so i dont blame youtubers for making their income on youtube.
whenever I hear my favourite youtubers say "Please surbscribe" or whatever I always think "I ALREADY HAVE WHAT MORE CAN I DOOOO..." ^w^
Share! Haha.
+Rob Dyke AHH YOU ANSWERED DAY MADE
I often say "You like creepy? Here's the creepy king of youtube!"
Loving Question Everything :D
+Rob Dyke like your videos man.
+Paméla B. Donate via the support button is another option.
+Paméla B. make more accounts to show them how much you like them
The person who does the art work for these videos fucking rocks!!
agreed
+sean williams His name is Asad Farook and you can subscribe to him at ua-cam.com/users/asadfarookart
+Rob Dyke is it possible to have arms or leggs from a dead body reattached to a living body? and iknow they can reattach ur finger if it gets chopped off but what about someone else's
+artawesome30 I love how her art is so unrefined. I always have work my pieces until they're clean and neat or I'll feel they're unfinished , so I really like to look at artwork from people like Joopis and Sycra who are basically my opposite.
+Justin Johnson It depends on how long it's been dead. Also if the dead bodyparts are from a person with the same blood group as the person who gets operated.
If I had a brain transplant, I think I'd lose my mind.
It's weird how the brain itself doesn't know itself.
Ikr, its super creepy to think that you are your brain, your body is just a shell
Brain in a Shell!
The only one we know of for sure that's trying though. :P
nT_ Gaming & More The human brain is like an angsty teen, it hates people for not understanding it yet it doesn't understand itself.
so technically (we) the brain are having identity crisises
I'll go with Einstein on this one, thanks
agreed
I'll go with William James Sidis(smartest person ever to be alive)
Same here
+fakeemoboy Not very many people know exactly who he is *smiles*

If I could transplant brains without any problems.
I'd kidnap people switch their brains for a prank
#itsjustaprankbro
Haha from niga higa right?
this joke is getting old.
thats actually sams lateist video
GONE SEXUAAAAAAAALLL
+CharlesDawe cough cough *H3H3
This could give a new meaning to saying "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!!!"
I went to school with someone with muscular dystrophy and literally saw him go from being able to walk to within a year in a wheelchair and it was so sad to see the pain he was going through I mean I could just tell that he was always in pain. So if a head transplant was possible or becomes possible why should anyone disrespect the dr and patient. And also with muscular dystrophy you live a relatively short life in pain and there is nothing anybody can do to stop or cure it so if a head transplant can cure the muscular dystrophy or any other life ending diseases then I say people should have the right to have it done.
Zach t the reason nobody should do an head transplant is cause you would still have to change the head with another body which means that someone would still suffer. If the body you exchange the head with is deceased there would still be problems since we die because we get hurt really bad or because the body is too old. So either way someone would still suffer.
Just wait until we can upload our minds onto computers.
+RolyUnGashaa You should play SOMA, or watch a lets play of it (I would suggest Cryaotic for the latter).
+Sean Garth the idea of Soma is terrifying
+Lets Talk About Stuff It is indeed, it's also incredibly fascinating.
+Lets Talk About Stuff It us full of unneeded drama and depression. It talks more about dangers of not establishing colonies in space from that perspective.
Darth Biomech Uhhh okay...
Dude! I LOVE this new series! It is so awesome that you listen to your fans! I had tweeted you once letting you know that I liked your "Social Autopsy" series (I like all the videos you do), but I LOVE "Seriously Strange"! I guess I wasn't alone in that! This series is a perfect side by side! Great job on your channel! Big props to you and all of your awesome team! I have been with you for a VERY long time (Episode 20 ish of WWYPTOTI). I miss it, obviously, but you also recommended Alonzo to fill that need! You are an awesome UA-camr and you have EARNED your way on UA-cam! I have the utmost respect for you. You show all of us what hard work and dedication can do! Thank you for all the time you put into your videos (including your team)! I know it takes a lot of time to make them, as well as interact with your subscribers. I will wait forever for episode #100 of WWYPTOTI that you said would close the series for good. I completely respect your decision to stop the series! If you don't enjoying your own content, then you have no fun making new content! You may read this, you may not, either way THANK YOU ROB A.K.A. Voldemort! :D
P.S. Let's switch brains for a day bro!
AYYYY
+JBBen123 AYYY
ha! Right on urmaker, I almost asked during your last live stream if you watched Rob Dyke
+urmaker I totally didn't expect you to like rob dyke OMG!!!!!!!
I found you
I've had 3 kidney transplants and 1 Liver transplant. first 2 kidneys failed early on than in Sept 2017 i got a double kidney/liver transplant and those are both still working perfectly, but before the transplant I used to love chocolate now after I cant stand it, and a year after the surgery I was able to meet the parents of the person that passed in order to donate the organs to me and the mother told me that her son always hated chocolate lol. Just thought I would share lol
I sense a movie coming out of this...
EGGS FACTOR Get Out :)
altered carbon, get out
x files (2008 film)
self/less
"US" The movie
Nice new series.
However I have my doubts that the head transplant of the Russian man will lead to him walking again in his new body. Since he has never walked in his life, his brain cells that normally would control walking have never been practiced and according to the principle 'use it or lose it', those cells will have been used to control something else. So I except that his brain might not be able to control walking ever again.
+Eefje Poppelaars they shouldnt do this cause the brain is programmed for you and you can put that into another body it is like putting a dvd into a cd reader it isnt made for the cd reader and the cd isnt made for the dvd reader
+Eefje Poppelaars but we learn constantly, so maybe he would be able to... I mean people he'd had a stroke are sometimes able to walk again, if the brain manages to restore damaged cells/ create new paths for that specific function.
Redink Yes that is true, he might be able to learn it through intense rehabilitation. Let's hope so.
+Eefje Poppelaars That just makes me so sad for disabled people... I was hoping there would be a glimpse of hope for them ): ...
Maybe the brain would learn walking again?
Sweet episode dude. No doubt one day brain transplants will be common place!
Love your channel
Alltime Conspiracies I kind of love when a fave channel comments on the video of another fave channel. Yes I am weird I accept this
Alltime Conspiracies fakest shit channel on UA-cam
Maybe but people globally are becoming more religious.
No religion is now dying because of advancing science
dude, you have the best UA-cam channel hands down my favorite. why would you put that on the internet and seriously strange and stuff like this are amazing content.
I hope the transplant does go well for that guy; He truly wants to be able to move and walk and who are we to deny him that chance
True. His body his decisions
Well him and that dead guy but dead dude signed the take my organs paper so like everyone is cool with the situation
if you transplant ur brain you will be considered death.. if you need to change ur brain. dont sweat
he changed his mind..
@@Sunflower-ug3eh saying no is how technology stagnates. No matter the cost technology and the sciences must advance.
This is my favorite Question Everything so far! I must say that Question Everything is so much better than Social Autopsy. Great video Rob
+Ellisha McKenna I think so, too. Thank you.
+Rob Dyke You're welcome:)
+Rob Dyke Coolest guy on UA-cam right here. If I were rich I'd fund the stuff you do on here.
I thought it was just a name change.
+Ellisha McKenna nice last name :D i approve!
if I got a brain transplant I could pass Algebra
How would changing bodies help with your algebra?
+phantomisle Noice
+phantomisle In order for that, their teacher may have to be gay.
+Smiles No, if you fucking tried you could pass Algebra.
Ouch.
its always some Russian who did it first xD
Looney Tunez probably. Pretty sure their laws in human and animal experimentation is a lot more lax than that of the us
Or germans
Kaaz u mean "NAZIS"
Yea... when it comes to inventions and "doing it first"...
I mean the nazis did invent some pretty important stuff
Cuz Germans and Russians have been doing shit for the longest to beat and be better than the usa
is it a brain or body transplant?
Think about this... if you put a liver in a person, are you transplanting the body?? .. of course not.
Christopher A Dude I THINK he meant that genuinely. Rob mentioned head to body transplant (& vice versa) briefly, making it a bit confusing...
Mark Daniel it's a body trabsplant. Because if it was a brain transplant they would take out the brain only. But here there taking the whole head.
No timmy, A head transplant is a head transplant, I don't know where you learnt your anatomy but Body does not equal head.
Corncakes Meme would a brain transplant change your personality and how you think and stuff?
I really hope that Canavero succeeds in the head transplant. Not only would it be a great step in medical history, but it would make a human being relieved beyond our comprehension.
I don't have a problem with humans doing this but I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the procedure when it was going on. Also we should keep in mind (no pun intended) that a tool like this is very powerful and if it falls into the wrong hands it can be a disaster.
Very thorough job. I came looking for answers but ended up with more questions.
I remember an episode from Spongebob when Patrick got a different brain. I think that is what will happen if you had an brain transplant.
Why does the "playing god" thing come up in every moral argument about creating new life and prolonging life? That's not a moral nor is it "playing god." A god isn't the only being that can make new life or make choices about life. It's like these people are afraid of the advance of the medical field as a whole because it may render their god obsolete.
No, I think that what they're worried about is that we might not know as much as we think we do and that we'll accidentally do something horrendous, either to the person we're trying to help, or ourselves. They're probably worried that we'll accidentally create a monster who could turn on us.
M'lady
*tips fedora* M'weeb
That moment when I'm Christian and everybody thinks were mindless robots.
+Ryan B that's why you block people dumbass.
Well, guess I'm in the minority. I would rather die than live like that. Sorry.
You're not alone. Just the thought makes me shiver.
Genuinely disturbing, isn't it?
+Crooks PlaysYT Yeah, kind of reminds me of the cheesy movie "Face Off",but it was just their faces that were switched, not their brains. If technology is ever able to switch brains,I would live in paranoia.
Same. This is VERY fucked up.
+Crooks PlaysYT same
omg Rob!!!! I am so happy i found this video! this series is one i didn't know existed!!!!! And i literally stream you're other videos periodically, yayyyy now i have to watch more.... i know I was late to this video , but i'm psyched!!!! great job
This I think is one of your scariest videos, more or less due not to the subject, but the implications behind it. Ahhh...I goddamned love that fridge horror.
those scientist screwing with animals are fucking cruel, okay. Why can't people just accept that death is a part of life?
+BeanEatsBean s Rats and of little intelligence, and the dogs were old, I'd rather die in the name of science than sputtering on my death bed screaming about what charity to give my money to.
Big Macintosh. a dog and a rat cannot consent to what many would call torture, imagine how painful these procedures were to the animals.
HorseThief yes, but for death to happen life must exist
+BeanEatsBean s If you wanna die prematurely from some disease or deformity, go ahead. If scientists can further our medicine and give someone and actual LIFE, then let them do it. People living with certain ailments, whether they're born with them or develop them, those people are not "living". They are simply surviving, breathing air, keeping their bodies alive. Not to mention without animals, we wouldn't be where we are today. You probably wouldn't have been alive since the medicine that prevented one of your ancestors or whatever from dying wouldn't exist because it wouldn't have been properly studied and tested etc. Any vaccine you get? Animals. Makeups? Even if a certain product doesn't test on animals, it got to this stage because of animals. Hope you don't eat meat, guess where that comes from?
+BeanEatsBean s because then we wouldn't be following the natural order of living things, which is to prolong your life in ANY way possible, animals dont just accept certain death, they fight till their last breath, so it only makes sense we would also try to accomplish the longest life possible through technology. and scientists fucking with animals like that is the main reason why people like us don't die horribly in agony at an early age more often, its through drugs and procedures most likely created through animal testing. also the reason your pets are able to stay with you longer and die peacefully. It might suck that the cute wittle animals are getting tested on but its either a couple mice in a lab or thousands of living things in real life.
This just reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist. Don't do it! I feel like the world has already ended. I don't know why people think the idea of an apocalypse is going to happen all at once. Maybe we are already in an apocalypse and it happens slowly over time.
+ashleyxofashions It made me think of FMA too. Some things should stay science fiction. The tests they did on the animals' heads just shows that sentient bodies will reject the process and it will only serve to be a more traumatic death. I do hope the best for that paralyzed graphic artist, but I'm not expecting the results to improve his quality of life in the long run and I'm pretty sure it will be the death of the poor guy.
+Nightman221k that rejecting part is questionable imo. Its the same thing with any transplants... the surgeons have to take in account the patients possible rejections and that is why they try to find someone who has similar genetics and blood type... and whatevs else there is to take into consideration.
Its obvious the body would reject a wrong type of organ but if its correct for your body it wont.... just like those patients who have gotten transplants before.
Would that be able to be used in head transplants? :P
I hope the surgery in 2017 is successfull and that guy finally gets a normal life like the rest of us. If its even going to happen.
Otakahunt I was more worried that the shock of operating an unfamiliar body would cause the parts to react badly and fail. But either way I do hope it works for the guy it would be an amazing break through if it did.
ashleyxofashions I wouldn't mix a human with a dog, though.
I love all of your videos! I’m definitely not ashamed to admit I’ve been binge watching all of them the past few days.
I bet that operation's going to end up costing a hell of a lot more that 16 mil.
Current estimate is $100m+
10 degrees C isn't low, that's what I call British summer.
Rapeoreon Sure, but cooling the BODY down to 10 degrees C is insane seeing as the average/healthy temperature is around 36-37 degrees C
Please do, Is there truly freewill?
Alex McClure I know but I love it haha
+Kim Kaneki
Exactly.
+Kim Kaneki Bruhh... *mind blown* XD
best educational channel and serie on youtube ; keep it up
1st video I’ve ever watched, and I had to sub, very good video
too freaky for me.
that's like. a zombie 2.0.
+Angela -Benedetti nope its basically like restarting a heart after a heart attack or something, neither the brain or the body have fully died yet, you are basically taking what is still living in one body and putting it into the still living body of someone who went braindead.
Rob Dyke what if you could transfer all of the brains data to a computer transplant a new brain and transfer that data back to the new brain.
+Pike Folsom Goodbye, Caroline.
+Pike Folsom Chappie?
+Pike Folsom By the time we do that I think we would just have the technology to create a human robot to transplant a half electronic brain into, It would greatly prolong life and the government would get a bunch of tax money from the constant maintenance, Win-win
+Pike Folsom You're killing a person, copying an iteration of their consciousness, creating a new brain, enforcing it to correlate with the form of the iteration of a dead persons consciousness.
It's not rebirth, it's not a continuation. It's a separate iteration of a new person, based on a previous iteration of a different person.
"I'm afraid it's been... 9 years."
One time when I was a kid, I had a dream that I was going to some kind of courtroom reenactment performance, or something, with my family. We sat on bench seats that were covered with purple carpet, similar to what they might have at a theme park or science museum. On the seat, I found a medical science book for kids. It was open to the chapter about the woman who was the first person ever to get a brain transplant. I remember it said the year, but I don't remember what it actually was. I woke up right before I was able to read it. It was many years ago and I still remember it.
honestly a major mind fucking video I love it and can't stop thinking about this! Waking up in a new body! what must a feel 😯😯😯
+Logio “Shorty” Franco If the game SOMA is anything to go by, it would be a good idea to transplant into a body that is very very similar to the one you had. Your brain is used to your body looking a certain way, drastically changing that could have unintended consequences.
I'm thinking about those people who feel that certain parts of their body don't belong to them and want them removed. Imagine feeling that way about your entire body.
+Sentinalh a few days after this video I thought about this! I know what my body is capable of, what I can and can't do, so now in a new body, you don't know any of this, I guess it's how the video says. it might make us go insane!
Well, damn, this fucked me up. Hello, existential crisis.
Cayleigh Coule I'm your first subscriber
your sound is so clean i appreciate that
Fantastic thought exercise ! Brilliant post, thank you! 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ghost in The Shell anyone? That's the only thing i can think of watching this.
to put it like Supernatural does, our bodies are meat suits. our brains and souls are what makes us us.
ogogo ogpgpg that was a movie
ogogo ogpgpg not real
ogogo ogpgpg also an anime
ogogo ogpgpg you can't disprove a negative nobody proved ghostes/souls existence to begin with
ogogo ogpgpg you can do researches as much as you want but nothing will give you a satisfying a answer
scientifically speaking and my personal thought about the topic being dead feels like before you were born you just wouldn't exist .. and near death experiences do not prove anything it's all due to a hormone in tge brain called DMT that causes hallucination
Love this video- intriguing topic
This type of topic brings up the philosophical question of what a person even is
We're over populated... we DON'T need to start learning/trying to bring people back ;A;
True. I know it's horrible to say, but nature needs another plague to keep us more in balance with the rest of the living things on this planet.
+gingergamergirl98 sadly that's called cancer my friend
+1sonnio cough cough china with a 1 billion population.
+1sonnio Or, what if there were less people reproducing, and more people choosing this option. it would level out eventually.
Earth can easily support a population of around 90,000,000,000.
NO...12%? ONLY 12%? People! Let's ask THIS question shall we? What if one of your loved one's bodies came back "to life" but with a different head//person. Is that okay to you?
Goodness me that is just twisted! That's mad! No thank you.
This video spurned a hour and a half conversation of all the possible outcomes my husband and I could think of! What an incredibly interesting subject that I really just never put that much thought into!
Rob Dyke you are the man... I didn't think you would bounce back from seriously strange but I think you've solidified your place here...
I don't see why you would want to transplant only the brain and not the whole head. In my opinion, you're not you without your face. Then again if someone had bad eyes or bad hearing or something I can see why they wouldn't want the rest of their head.
+Scámarca Productions Well i think its more a case of whole head being more realistic to do than brain only, all you're reattaching is the contents of the neck and assuming you can get the spine correctly re-attached its pretty much just down to recovery, with a brain transplant there are a lot more nerves to re-attach and it would be more risky
What if a Boy & girl switched brains?
+Subscriptions it'd probably create transgender people. Tests have shown that trans kids have brains that resemble the opposite gender more, so if it was literally the opposite brain, that's probably what would happen.
+Subscriptions The brain would most likely get rejected and person or people would most likely die a slow painful death.
Kitten Cradle That's what I was thinking
Maybe in the future this would be possible, by taking the head of the person and dna from the person, and growing new organs,skin, bones, etc and becoming in a sense, "reborn"
That's called cloning, and we can already do it with certain animals.
+Darovit i don't mean cloning in the sense of growing a new body, but as in growing each specific organ, nervous system, etc to be perfect, and putting it all together like a puzzle
+KarmaSwiss Oh yeah, they can do that in Star Trek, I forgot what they called it though XD wonder what it would be called in real life.
+Darovit we can do it with humans but it's illegal, scientists have grown a human clone to just before being a "person" but had to kill it since it is illegal.
+BlackKnightsChariot yea i think i heard about that before, it was in china or something right?
In other words, that guy wants to build Frankenstein's monster. Hmm.
Im fine with head/brain transplants as long as both parties consent etc
Animals can't consent though :/
I swear...if you wana be creeped the fuck out...click "Rob Dyke"
I wouldn't want a brain transplant.
I am me.
Part of me is my body, and my face.
And I'd much rather die, than have to change my entire identity.
JKH Piano you are the brain

Egotistical
rob, iv seen every one of your videos, not sure if that's creepy or not, but they are addicting. You and your team are fantastic. 😊
Love the background Rob!
Well I for one find the prospects of this fascinating. I think it's important to explore what consciousness truly is and what makes a person the way they are, and this type of research may hold some answers. I can't wait to find out the results of that scientist's experiment.
I wouldnt like that they study conciousness... because the most likely result is: There is no conciousness nor soul, we are just a bunch of atoms working together. What move us is energy, once we have no energy the body stops and die. We are no different from microorganisms
Christopher A Maybe that would be the result because we simply can't comprehend what it really is.
I think I will chose death because who knows what waits us on the other side.

Nothing.
Watch every episode I come across, Great Channel And Host, 😊
Please bring this series!
If no one even knew "God" "Existed" (not saying he does or does not) would we still question the "are we playing God" ethicality? or would automatically revert to saying "playing Nature" instead? If the though or seed of God was never planted, would we still worry about "playing God"? Food for thought.
Yes I guess you could say that. IF we didn't have the notion or knowledge of God then obviously we wouldn't be able to associate moral/ethnical procedures or topics with a higher being (God) but rather we would put it down to nature like you said. But this video is so interesting because it highlights how complex the human is and it does bring into question the existence of God. For me personally I feel like the complexity of DNA alone must have had a higher being to have created such a meticulous thing.
+Rebecca Hoffmaster God isn't real. End of discussion, fuck ethics.
We technically could keep that saying, considering how many religions there are in the world like Norse/Austra, Greek/Roman, Indian/Tribal ect. ect.
+Rebecca Hoffmaster personally i think that all/most religions that have some form of god where created out of fear and the unknown. people didn't have a purpose, we don't know what happens after death, we didn't know how life, the planet, everything in general was made, so we came up with stories of how everything was created to just make some kind of sense of it true or not. and which would you really rather believe in, going to some wonderful paradise for eternity if you follow some rules? Or ceasing to exist after death no matter what you do. people hang on to hope, and religion feeds off hope promising eternal happy life after the struggles of life.
of course different religions have different rules and philosophy about the afterlife but yeh.
*****
....
wouldn't it be called whole body transplant?
Love the Mosin Nagant in the background Rob.
This is fascinating..great job as usual.. I did have to pause it to say... I am definitely getting some serious human centipede vibes...
So albert einstein lived as a genius and proved it when he died. He is smart. When its your time, its your time.
We each have a soul
The creation of each & every human being has an aura its own force the soul when you die that energy lives on if you earn it
The brain is the most important organ... according to the brain.
ur channel is gr8 bc u take time and I actually get what ur saying to me lmao
Watching your videos again because it's almost October!
I like playing God.
i dont... i dont wanna to create a freak of creature... I'd rather wait for the creature to change on its own just like it has for million of years
+Ryan B I'm with you on this one.
+Ryan B it isn't blasphemous unless we're all a part of the same organized religion.

The only problem with this whole discussion, is the absents of spirituality brought into the equation!
If the spirit is real, then wouldn't the outcome be dictated by where the spirit believe his life is?
+SXG - Smileys Xtreme Gaming that's assuming the spirit stays in the body and don't go with the brain.
No its not! Did you even read my comment?
Spirituality is irrelevant to the idea of a scientific procedure. Since the spirit cannot be proven to exist with current scientific methods, it isn't regarded as an important factor in such a complicated equation. It's not useful to consider, and even if it's correct it'll be supremely easy to justify with reasons grounded in empirical science.
You don't need to prove the spirit to theorize!
Your argument is invalid!
***** But for any theory to gain any kind of traction there must be concrete scientific evidence that's impossible to disprove. Empirical data is necessary to proposition a theory. I can theorize that glass is made out of rainbows and air, but that doesn't mean it's anything more than an unsupported (and incorrect) theory. Until the spirit is proven to exist empirically, it remains outside the scope of science and will not be considered a variable in any kind of experiment.
brain transplants can forget your memories, your name, parents and especially, school
This all brings me back to how transporters in Star Trek worked... it basically scans your body, breaks it apart and reforms it at the next location, meaning the transporter actually kept a perfect map of your body and memories every time... which meant, everyone in the Star Trek universe who had used a transporter was basically immortal... Scotty trapped himself in a transporter field in one episode of the Next Generation.. since it had his older form only, that's how they brought him back. This would automatically give Star Fleet an advantage in any war, since they could bring back the dead who had used transporters anytime they wanted to.
a brain transplant should include the spinal cord otherwise its just loonytoons
I agree, this is an entire section left out of te video.
It's a creepy premus, and I honestly don't know who would go with it. I have heard of people offering their brain for science once they died, but I don't think that's what they mean. My brain has too many issues for it to be useful to anyone unless they want seizures and brain fluid problems :(
This is just insane to even mess with this!!!!
I would let them try it on me, I really don't have much left, but I would be curious to see if it worked. It just would be weird to be in a different body. It really is perplexing.
'Things worse than death'-
The Brain that Wouldn't Die
as a transgender person, the idea of a successful brain transplant is a very pleasing idea to me. but alas, there are so many things that could go wrong.
I hope to one day have hair as cool as Rob's. xD
+Schizzle Blizzard Same, it'd probably really help with a lot of trans people. Only thing I would feel uncomfortable about is the chance my brain/head would go onto someone else and not just some realistic robot or something.
have a sex change much safer at this point
jamesahmed1889 I agree, however, there's money and just a lot of complications.
To be completely honest it's not as simple as it sounds.
Easier said that done ya know.
+Schizzle Blizzard but it's still far cheaper and safer than a head transplant
This type of technology is equal parts amazing and horrifying. I hope it never becomes a reality as it is an abomination. Not to mention ethically it is horrifying
***** i hope it doesn't go through. I feel terrible for that poor man but this is just not right. I have a feeling technology like this is likely to be overused and abused
Garnet Bezanson I hope we can geneticly fix the body, not transplant a new one.
Fairex If military spending was spent researching medical procedure i think some sort of bionic implantation could be a possible fix or the usage of stem cells. First we need to learn how to contain and stop the spread of an illness and then learn how to cure/treat it
nah you are wrong you can have that opinion but it's just stupid we don't know why we were created or how this man is literally going to die he is terminally ill he is going to have a chance he wants a chance at life and you're going to say no that's just wrong sure you may say well its not ethical well fuck ethical every answer we can get to this so called life that doesn't hurt anyone should be taken this literally hurts no one its just a chance at life
So having a new body is a abomination? hahah I think it is incredible think about the people with dying bodies could save thounds of lifes!!
i really like the line possible doesn't mean ethical - it relates to so much.
Is that a Mosin Nagant rifle behind you? If so, that's awesome!! I've got one myself; they're great rifles. You have a great channel, by the way :)
I've always hated the phrase "playing god" and the idea of something being unnatural. Bitch everything we have is unnatural. You wanna now what happened to humans who were totally natural? They lived to about 30 if they were lucky. So fuck that shit reason. The only reason we shouldn't go through such advancements is if there's an overwhelming possibility of failure and even then,if someones dieing and wants to try who are we to say they cant give it a shot. Even if it'll probably fail they deserve the chance to try. The worst thing that'll happen is death and that's already gonna happen.
also this "playing god" shit is only said by those who are religious.what about those who want science to progress without any religious shit in the way?
How about we agree there is no god. So here is no "playing god", just being human.
And even if there is a god, clearly things change. If god didn't want this to happen, wouldn't he just make it impossible? Either that or he just lets us do whatever we want, who really knows.
I personally am religious. But I agree. If God didn't want this, he would have made it impossible.
Jared Owens well anything made by a living thing would technically be natural
what makes you you is in your brain. get rid of that, and you're not you anymore. as for actually HAVING my brain/head put elsewhere, there would have to be TONS of positive results before I'd allow something so terrifying. my daughter had a biopsy on her spinal cord, and eventually had to have titanium rods placed in her spine to prevent the tumors from causing it to continue to curve. She now has very little feeling left in the majority of her back and neck, and she is in DAILY pain. Now imagine severing your spine, then having your head attached someplace else. I cannot even fathom the pain it could cause from all of that nerve damage, and that's ONLY IF you ever have the ability to move again. Hell no.
Death will be less hurting than to have seizures every minute. It's hell
From what I read about the head transplant in 2017 is that Valery Spiridonov decided to not go through with the surgery. The professor Sergio Canavero did the surgery in China with cadavers. And he reported it a success.
Um...zombie apocalypse. Are we trying to do this on purpose now?
We need to cleanse the gene pool somehow...
+Brittany Baxter having a new body wouldnt just magically give you the ability to infect people with a non-existent virus
Apparently, billions of dollars are going into funding the zombie apocalypse. Yet another example of people playing god when it was completely unnecessary and unethical.
+Oli L if you were given, say, a box of Legos, and someone said "These Legos hold an infinite amount of creative possibilities. Make whatever you want, as long as you don't hurt anyone (I.e. don't leave them on the floor) in the process". Would you say "no, I don't think I will"? We are presented with trillions upon trillions of possibilities in our world to explore and experiment with. Saying one is 'playing god' does not always make sense. If your god gave us all of this, I can't imagine they did so without expecting us to use our minds to utilize the world and explore all possibilities. Otherwise, what is the point?
Tyler B if we can do brain transplants without hurting anyone, then I agree, we should go for it
I think that forcing a dead body back to life is unnatural. Whats ment to be is whats ment to be and you go out when your ment to. Its pretty much disturbing the slumber of the dead and to me thats not right.
+Mr Thompson Dead people don't sleep, dead people be dead.
+Mr Thompson When people die, it is generally....believed....that their spirit and everything connected to that persons identity leaves it's body to go who knows where, (whatever belief floats your boat). So in a sense, the bodies would just be empty vessels. And if a person consents to it, then you know, they can do them.
+Mr Thompson
Yeah, because unnatural things are soooooo terrible. You could testify to that, couldn´t you? Typing in your perfectly natural computer, with your perfectly natural keyboard, on your perfectly natural clothes, peeing and shiting on your perfectly natural toilet, eating on your perfectly natural dishes, while watching your perfectly natural TV, using your perfectly natural medicines, while living in your perfectly natural hou....... wait.
+Gamelord000 sorry for having an opinion, fucknut
+Mr Thompson the guy who donated the body disagrees with you and will haunt you forever if his body isn't used for science like he wants.
5:51 'One organ that is thought to be prone to cell memory is the heart,'
But Dr. Frankenstein did say that the heart was useless.
I'm very anxious to see how things work out with the head transplant that's scheduled to happen later this year.
