Perhaps the brain could be put in stasis so that it never produces consciousness but still retains its bodily regulatory functions. Once the body is fully grown the deceased original’s brain information could potentially be “grafted” onto the simulated body’s brain with appropriate modification of the nerves in the simulated body to be compatible with the original brain information. There are many hurdles to this but at least many of the difficult parts such as uploading all the various gut cells is done automatically. I don’t mean to imply that any of this is easy, just that it is theoretically possible. I suspect this will only become practically possible with AGI involvement.<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Apr 6, 2023, at 6:55 PM, William Flynn Wallace via extropy-chat <<a href="mailto:extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org" class="">extropy-chat@lists.extropy.org</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;">That would be truly awesome if it were done.

CAn't overlook that. But I never (?) see anything about glial cells. I have read where lately they have discovered that they do more than just provide support for the neurons (aren't they the blood brain barrier?). But anyway, they influence neurons in some ways and we are just starting to find out what. How do you upload a gut and glial cells? bill w</div></div>
