All science fiction writers of the world have long dreamed of such an experiment on the brain. Science fiction becomes reality. German scientists conducted a scientific experiment and managed to extend the life of the brain, which was seized from a pig. In artificial conditions, the brain functioned for another 36 hours. The brain was extracted from the body and connected to a special system that supplied it with blood and oxygen. More precisely, the blood was replaced by a special solution, which provided the brain with everything necessary for life.
"In principle, German scientists say - if all is well, and all the preparations will lack abundance, such a head can be maintained in working condition almost forever." They called this project "head in a glass jar".
The same experiments have already been made on the monkey's brain. Now it's the man's turn. In principle, these experiments are needed to test the work of the human brain in some diseases, for example, Alzheimer's disease. That is, at first the treatment will be carried out in a test mode on a single brain, and if the result is positive, then only then the treatment will be transferred to the person.
But this is a complex process. The neurons of the brain are very sensitive to various deviations from the norm and do not really want to take an artificial blood substitute. Therefore, scientists have to work hard to make the brain believe them and work calmly and correctly.
Scientists decided to determine whether the left brain consciousness (soul) that is present in the brain is the essence of most pigs. And they did an electroencephalogram of the brain. Alas, the device showed a straight line, that is, complete silence of the brain. Any thoughts and emotions in the pig brain left. However, the body itself was functioning normally. So the soul is not in the brain. Scientists then thought, what if to return the brain back to the body. Then will the brain start to work – to think and feel? Moreover, such experiments have already been carried out, however, in rats. The rat was transplanted to the brain of another rat By one. And in that case the experiment was successful-the rat came to life and continued to develop normally.
Thus, by small steps, scientists continue to advance to the full immortality of man. Today, if the brain is alive, then the person is alive. But now there is a question of an ethical nature. A person is considered dead when the work of his brain stops, and now it turns out that the work of the brain can be maintained indefinitely. What to do in this case?
