Brain Transplant (poll)

Why fix something that is not broken? And I would not go through such a frankensteinian procedure.

Not really, if it means risking your life, then I don't think it's worth it.

I don't think I would choose the transplant even if there was no danger of death.

i enjoy my brain

No, I'm quite fond of my brain.

I've voted no, because I don't want to be normal and boring.

I don't want to be an ass but it just doesn't work that way.

Your personality is a melting pot of nature and nurture. All your experiences would have to reset, which, in combination with a different brain, just comes down to being a completely different person.

Never regret who you are.

I wouldn't have such a horrible surgery. It would be too painful and risky.

My fiance always jokes with me and says I need a new brain but just keep the parts that remembers him and my fam. But I would never do it. Being born was risky enough why would I do something even risker. Besides the way I am is different I like being unique.

If I saw an NT guy who was healthy, inshape, with good credit, and good looking I would not hesitate to steal his body throw away his brain and replace it with my brain. I might not think like an ubermensch but I can at least look like one. I would also try out different races and body types for fun like changing into a new suit. The so-called normal people have treated me so badly over the years I would not hesitate to use them like cattle for their host bodies.

I hope you die before you ever get to do anything of the sort. That is utterly sociopathic.

That doesn't even make sense. The answer is no because the question as phrased is nonsensically stupid.

You can't have a brain transplant, as others have said. First, the medical impossibility of it. Even keeping the body alive somehow, how do you reattach everything to the new brain?

Then... what do you do with the old one? Do you stick it in the body of the NT? In that case, you're switching bodies. Who would want my body? Well, maybe someone terminally ill or otherwise truly desperate, I grant you. Or someone who was very optimistic and saw something they really wanted.

But no, I don't hate myself enough to want to die and have someone else replace me. That's a fate worse than death. It's exactly what the curebies want, but I don't think there are any curebies on the spectrum, except maybe Temple Grandin and some crazies.

Seriously, you're asking this question? Do I want to be gone, dead? And then have someone else in my body, trusted by my friends, with free rein to betray them? With the trust I earned, given unknowingly to an unproven stranger? My body doing things I would never tell it to?

That would make a great horror story. Only way for it to be better would be if I were conscious to watch it happen. Actually, I've read those books, the series is called Animorphs.

EDIT: And how come the poll results say 5% have voted yes (are you insane?) but only 94% have voted no? Something's not right here.

No because of the survival rate mostly. I would consider it, though I'm not absolutely sure if I would take the option if there was a 100 percent rate of success.

There was a doctor who was doing head transplants on monkeys. He was trying to do it on human patients in the Ukraine. He in had some parapalegic lined up for the transplant and evrything but I do not think the Ukrainian government allowed him to do it. No telling what kind of crazy stuff goes on behind closed doors.

You could probably re-grow parts of the brain that do not function correctly by cloning and genticly repair a brain as it grows. But putting in the new improved brain would drasticaly change your personality. Your brain would be alive and functional after repairing it but what made you, you would be dead. They probably will never will be able to replicate soul and its memories.
