Proposal! Biologists and Electrical Engineers create gut bacteria that duplicates all information in the human brain, all brain states, memories, personality traits, habits, etc.
Advantage- It is an instantaneous mind clone, so obliteration becomes more difficult, since your instantiation clone would still thrive, past brain death. Possibly the person could be restored by a blank duplicate clone of the person, or someone would rent themselves out for a few years. Disadvantage- If you got an upset stomach you could crap your brains out, literally. The rebuild might take a while, and during that time, the individual is "uninsured." -----Original Message----- From: Bruno Marchal <marc...@ulb.ac.be> To: everything-list <everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thu, Oct 9, 2014 10:17 am Subject: Re: Gut bacteria are protected by host during illness On 01 Oct 2014, at 20:07, 'Chris de Morsella' via Everything List wrote: Interesting evidence that not only do animals rely on symbiotic microbiota for their health they actively assist their community of helpful microorganisms by feeding them special sugars they make during periods of illness to keep their beneficial flora and fauna from dying off. Nice. Yes bacteria are quite useful, and too much hygiene can be bad by hurting our micro-allies. I read that the average human has ten kilogram of bacteria, and would die if they were not there. There are 20 times more bacteria cells than human cells in a human. A human cells is very plausibly a descendent of a colony of bacteria (with the nucleus being perhaps a descendent of a virus). No life (form) is an island! Nor is a number among the numbers ... :) Bruno Gut bacteria are protected by host during illness Gut bacteria are protected by host during illness To protect their gut microbes during illness, sick mice produce specialized sugars in the gut that feed their microbiota and maintain a healthy microbial balance.
