True, all the information on how to make a brain is there in the scrambled brains but that does no good because I don't think even Nanotechnology can get the information out that you need to figure out how to unscramble that brain. But if the brain has just been neatly cut in half the repair job, while still difficult, would be astronomically easier. > > There is no such thing as the same exact anything. Not in reality. OK but is exactitude really necessary? You're not exactly the man you were yesterday but you're pretty close, you're not even exactly the same man after you've taken a sip of coffee but you're close enough. > Have you ever read all of the accounts of organ transplant patients > having new memories and personality characteristics? > Have you ever read all of the accounts of Bigfoot, flying saucers, and Elvis being alive and well and working under a assumed name as a dental assistant in Dayton Ohio?
