My first question is, deprived of sensory input except perhaps pain, is did it scream?

“My first question is, deprived of sensory input except perhaps pain, is did it scream?”

My thinking is that “ghost” pains, those from the pain receptors no longer connected to severed limbs, is a well known phenomenon. Bringing back to life or sustaining the life of a disconnected brain would be the worst kind of Hell imaginable. (Next to Hillary’s laugh and Obama’s speeches.)

If the geek squad can ever find a way to download the brain, they won’t need to preserve it. Just grow a new one and upload.

Worst thing I can think of. But after they “perfect” it, imagine what they might be able to do... interrogate terrorists, criminals, the Clintons for years and years and years.
