Hi Chumley If there is an unusual pile of dog crap,it must be from a dog that loved you before it died,if you see it again,just shout Rover,Shep,Rex or whatever name you called it,and it will come round you,but tread careful,as you might step on the sign your dear dog left you.

Love and God bless you Chumley   Juditha

I've seen a documentation on tv where someone was in surgery and they had wired the patient's head; it was for a relatively long period inactive, a flat line, and they mentioned it was not only some peripheric measurement, the whole brain was inactive; they continued surgery as the rest of the body functions were stable, and they brought him/her (can't remember the gender) back, and this patient told them after it what they did when he/she was "out". That would be a proof that the brain is not the only thing which produces memories/perception, if it was only witnessed by some hundreds judges and policemen and professional magic tricksters...

Technically B-man it doesn't work, as Matthew said, you need to rebuild the exact cell network for this. Impossible.

Philosphically, I'm with Dave, I like to add that there is a categorial difference in "experience" and it's codification/mirroring in brain structures. It's just not the same; we have a correlation in brain damage and functionality of mind in the physical, no brain no human, that's clear, but that doesn't mean there is causality. If you see the flash of a lightning and you're hearing always thunder, then scientists don't claim that this light and this sound is the same identical thing, why do they do it with brain and experience/thoughts ?

Spooky
