Re: Immortality within our reach

Frankenbrain, ha, that's great

Our current science isn't even close to transplanting the eye due to the complexity of the optic nerve. You can't simply clip, and reattach nerves; the dynamics of nerve regeneration are far too lengthy to get into now, not to mention that brain cells start to die after 20min. without oxygen. The technology necessary isn't even on the distant horizon. However, this idea is intriguing.
