Wouldn't be cool if you could replace all your bodys organs with artifical organs? Such as the artifical heart Jarvik-7. I think it would be awesome, because you'd be able to delay death. You would be able to watch civilization advance and you'd have all the time in the world to feel your head with knowledge. You could become an all knowing genious!

Science has yet to produce a replacement organ that is as good as the original. At least to my knowlege. And imagine what would happen if you got next to a powerful magnetic field? Game over.

Well, let's get started on making some sufficient artifical organs that can compare to the original. I never thought about electromagnetism, though it's everywhere in todays society. That would be a flaw that you would have to get around. Besides it seems like you get game over soon enough anyway.
It'd be great to achieve an perfect artificial heart. If there were a way to run it off biological energy.. hmm.. *ponders*

Researchers are already working on a way to regenerate organs... without stem cells.

well, consider this...if all of your body parts are replaced, would you be considered human? I mean, imagine your brain being attatched to plugs and what not. Also, if a system were to crash, your dead. Talk about brain freeze...well, at least the windows OS anyways.

Heh, the brain is more like a mac, they don't call it a crash, but there are huge assed pauses, you know it did crash and the computer is trying to trick the program into making it run again XD

No blue screen of death for me =o even though I love windows.

I also sometimes debate on what should happen, would I want to be hooked up to a computer for all eternity? I think the concious mind and a computer is entirely different and impossible to put a concious somewhere in the computer, even hooked up by one.

I read in a popsci that there people working on ways to just grow new organs by useing a model and tissure from your old one.
