Well, since I have already lost my primary sentience already, no great loss.
Alternatively, 

 

>>we could all save our stools as backup. 

Okay. couldn't resist. then we'd have sh*t for brains!

 

 

I even think I saw that once, on the Hoarders Show. Bring on the ampicillin!

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.

 

Quick question -- wouldn't you literally lose your bio-engineered
microbiotic 2nd mind when you take penicillin?

 

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."

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 ... :)

microbial balance. T...
