Like most human I was wondering about immortality. How could a Man live forever? What is the meaning of being alive and being dead? A person dies when his brain stops getting Oxygen? The Blood takes oxygen to the Brain, if the heart stops, no blood supply to the brain? So hence no oxygen and the person dies when the brain dies.
But can it be possible than when a person is nearing death, That his brain/whole head be removed or separated and put into a Robot? The function of this Robot to supply all the essentials such as Oxygen, Hormones. So if the brain can be kept alive long after the body, organs, heart has failed then maybe humans can live for more than there unaltered natural lifespan. Maybe a Cyborg with a human brain and the rest of the body an artificial Robot. So my question to you would be: What does the brain need to keep it functioning forever? Can the brain be kept alive with artificial external machines? Has it been tried or researched? Thanks for your time.

i have also thought a lot at this,
as a student in medicine i can tell you the brain needs oxygen, lipids, proteins, glucose, something to transport them and the catabolites ( artificial blood already exists), so designing a robot to do that is not that hard, actually i'm working on that ( i also study polytechnics in parallel)
here's a site www.mindtransfer.com
and if you still wanna talk about that, im me iovitanc@yahoo.com, but tell me your id to accept you

Yes, they have transplanted a monkeys head onto another monkeys body, and both monkeys lived for a couple of days!
The researcher is striving for head transplants onto animals to extend human life!
The Japanese have invented artificial blood, that nutrients can be injected into.
So the day of Cybermen, and immortality, is not far off.

One of the supermarket tabloids printed a story some years back about scientists in East Germany who saved the head of a woman who had been decapitated in an auto crash. She flourished for a year or so, according to the story, and a means of communications was developed. But is it true?

heart is a muscle..and the meals we consume gets switched over to potential which facilitates them to maintain going.. our physique is stuffed with organs.. and the organs rely on one yet another.. if one is going lacking then you do no longer stay a similar.. now if something as significant because of the fact the concepts and the heart is going lacking then u are ineffective... so its like they stay to tell the story on their very own.. yet we could provide them the potential..
