Japanese Researchers Create a Pituitary Gland From Scratch in the Lab

So build a human, attaché electronic communications to the back of the brain and now we have our astronaut that can tolerate the long journey to Mars and maneuver like a human and act like a computer.

If it dies do some unfortunate problem, did science really risk a human life?

Science sees no further than what it can sense.
Religion sees beyond the senses.

One step closer to regenerative medicine maybe?

What if we grow a complete human and because we grew it and it has no history or emotional attachments to anyone and no person has emotional attachment to it.

If it dies, was it really a human death?

If we kill it, did we really kill a human?

If we order it to kill someone else, is it a murder or simply a tool doing its function?

Combine two futuristic fantasies.
1. We are able to grow a complete healthy human clone of ourselves.
2. We can electronically interface with both the old original human and copy everything about what is stored in its brain and down load it in the new younger human.

What do to with the old human?
I suppose we can keep the younger human on hold and just wait a few years for the older one to die.

Imagine, this could be our way of living forever!

Can be great for developing surrogates. No need to risk our selves when we have a surrogate to do cool stuff.

If science can grow replacement parts, can they also do some cosmetic tweaking before it's attached?
Grow you a new face, change it without the pain and reduce the down time, then attaché it.

Play with the X and Y genes; grow sexual body parts and then all the transsexuals can really convert to their desired sex.

Robot, sweetie, could you please stop mixing up religion and philosophy? What you're asking are philosophical questions, not theological questions.

@Robot, Hollywood already thought of that “The Island”. Where a colony of clones are kept until they are needed as organ donors. In the movie these clones were people with emotions and attachments, so not quite as amoral as using a robot. But growing a clone of yourself and then down loading your memories and getting to live your life all over again. Wonder how that will work out with the whole “over population” thing.

HMM pituitary gland eh? They say this is the gland responsible for telepathic phenomenon. (Every ancient culture thought this an important organ an even today it is represented in the Capital building in Washington D.C) This is going to be interesting.

Aldrons Last Hope,
No, you missed a point.
Say when you are a very old man, near death, you down all yourself into a younger self, knowledge, personality, experience, all of it. Then we put the younger self on hold.

We let the old self die naturally.

Then we boot up the young self, with all the life experience of the old self, but you do not repeat life, no. You go out into the world a young self, ready to start a new!

Here is a question for you. Suppose the oldself leaves his aparment and kills the oldself x wife and her youngself x wife too.

Then the oldself man dies naturally.

Who do you punish?
