A Future of Brain Transplantation
The obstacles of brain transplants and humanoid technology would simultaneously be solved in combination. The contemporary methods for brain transplantation of severing the brain at its stem cannot ensure that brain signals travel across the brainstem and spinal cord to control the rest of the recipient's body. The control systems that humanoids use lack the emotional intelligence to understand and interact with each other and humans. Combining these by placing a human brain into a robotic device that uses prosthetics to replicate the senses could allow people to live beyond the limitations of the human body itself and time. When the brain is transplanted into the humanoid the self belonging to it is transferred as well. Prosthetics used to replicate the retina, nose, ear, touch, and taste would be used to make life inside a robot attempt to replicate human life. Brain-computer interfaces would be used to interpret the brain signals and command the robotic body. A pump would need to be installed to provide all the necessary nutrients to the brain: primarily glucose and oxygen. This opens up a new area of discovery of the extent to which human life can be recreated in a robot as well as when changing the structure of the human body what new capabilities are within reach.
