During class last week we discussed Martin Minsky's article "Will Robots Inherit The Earth?" The part that I found most interesting was the part that my group was assigned to discuss. This was the issue of brain transplants, and whether or not they are feasible and right or wrong. I believe that when you transplant someones brain, they are not the same person. I think that they would become a person with some of the traits of both them, as well as the donor. I think that if parts of the brain could be transplanted to save someones life, it could be beneicial, but there is the sensitive issue of population control to consider as well. The population of the earth is growing rapidly, and although it may sound insensitive, we need to consider this as well. Pollution and poverty would both become worse problem than they already are if the population rate increases any more rapidly than it is currently.
