If your partner gets into an accident and you have the option to save them by putting their brain into a robotic body, would you?

[HawkPerception]

They would be the same person with the same brain. Just a different body.

I would

I wouldn't

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Assuming we hadn’t had the discussion about what decisions to make in case of a vegetable state/pull the plug decisions, this included, I would go forward with it until they decided it wasn’t what they wanted, assuming the brain is organic and not digitally scanned in

[Crimsyjo]

Helll yeah. Then I'd see if I can do the same. We can be cyborgs together!

[AviatorTom]

No, I would not. I'm pretty sure my wife would not want to be a robot.

[saraupstairs]

What if they put her brain in a donor body?

[AviatorTom]

@saraupstairs Can I pick the body?

[saraupstairs]

Well, this is a real thing. The technology is there. I watched a documentary about it. Humans can't do the surgery, but AI and robotics, can. It's highly controversial, so I don't know if it will happen. But for the sake of argument, let's just say something bad happened to Paris Hilton's brain...


I'm not sure how much of an option you have in choosing the donor, but what if there was a brochure, and she was an option?

[AviatorTom]

@saraupstairs Nope, she's blonde. 😐

[saraupstairs]

Doctor: For fuck's sake, Tom, can you just pick one? I don't have all day! This one came in fresh, today. It was one of those crazy pool billiard accidents. We get a lot of those.

Tom: Sorry, Doc, I'm just not feeling it. I'll try back next week. :)

[Crimsyjo]

@saraupstairs 😂😂😂

[Crimsyjo]

If this happened... a lot of the "less attractive but nice guys" will be getting women. Only to "accidentally " meet a tragic end and be waking up in a sexy ten years younger body lol

Actually... damn... everyone will be killing hotties to get their bodies and less hotties so they can move into their bodies. This doesn't bode well lol

[TheRealPepperPotts]

Which movie is this, Hawk?

[HawkPerception]

Simulant. It got low ratings, but I enjoyed it. I'd give it a solid 8/10.

[TheRealPepperPotts]

@HawkPerception I'll check it out!

[SueShe]

No, I would not of course.

The reason being is that I am not medically trained, I don't have a surgeon's degree or the appropriate experience in doing a brain transplant.

Thankfully I don't live in the US because if something would go wrong there, I would be sued for hundreds of millions by family members that would take that failed attempt to get rich at my cost.

Let that person die in dignity as a result of the accident, as it happens hundreds of time on a daily basis and don't attempt anything you know will have even more disastrous consequences for those attempting unsuccessfully to save that person.

[HawkPerception]

I didn't mean you do it yourself lol. Obviously the people that do that kind of stuff as a profession would do it 😂

[SueShe]

The question is whether this hypothetical partner would have wanted to be a cyborg. I don't think so and I would not want to live with a cyborg as a hypothetical partner.

[Darwin_n_chill]

This would be amazing, you could upgrade the robot to be as hot as he wanted and to have different modular parts so that you could have sexual variety, she could be one race and breast size one day and a different race and breast size the next day, all without having to cheat, and all without having the depressing reality that you're just banging a robot rather than a real partner. It would kind of be the best of both worlds to be honest. The only problem is that she still might have an attitude, since she still has her real woman's brain.

[Garud]

If I had known about anything like this earlier, I would have asked her about it beforehand.

Suppose some shady people come and offer me this while my partner is on death bed, then I will refuse

[exitseven]

I would. I think I woudl get one for myself too.

[IslaTheWitch]

only if he wanted this... I can't decide for him...

[sawno]

Would depend on my partners wishes, since its not an option I never talked about it with former partners but since I wouldn't want it done to me I assume she'd also not want to.

[GOLDFISH_smile]

We've talked about this & it's a no for both of us. He thinks it's unnatural & I think it's dangerous.

[MotherEarth2020]

I rather die, I hate robots taking over humans already

[HighValue]

Sure. Could she be a terminator and look and talk like Summer Galu?

[Luopio27]

I would honor the wish of the family and her own will!

[Dongie]

I say I would.

[KrakenAttackin]

The question is, would she want this?

[Dinoparx]

I wouldn't. I'd rather let nature take its course.

[katiesmuff]

Much to creepy!

[WatchedPot]

Only if they specified first..

[Penelope79]

I don't know I’d be afraid they take over.
