Bruno; does "Yes doctor" mean that a patient accepts as fact that removing his/her brain and/or nervous system and replacing it with microcircuits preserving the same functions, yields a surgical result such that the patient upon awakening seems to him or herself, and others, as the same "person" who previously approved the surgery? Is this the essence of mechanism? If not, please elaborate. TIA, AG -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
