      I’ve just looked it up and there has never been a full brain transplant, so I don’t know what you’re on about.

        They might have confused it for a head transplant?

        Although neither patient was alive at the time of the transplant.

        I don’t know if a full brain transplant would be feasible, or even a good idea. Not only would none of their senses and motor nerves work for weeks while the brain and nerves re-established themselves, but they would be walking around in a dead person’s face, body and speaking with their voice. That seems genuinely horrific.

        go look at images of old telephone wiring like when POTS was still the main method.multiply those rats nests of wires by a billion and shrink that them down to the molecular size and you might see the issue
