FANCY SWAPPING BODIES?
Forget Ozempic, why not completely change bodies? Sound like science fictiojn? Well it still is, but the âBrainBridgeâ (see video below) concept from Hashem Al-Ghaili got a lot on tongues wagging because of the recent AI explosion and advancements in robotics. The procedure is simple, remove the heads of both parties, slide over the body of the donor body to the head of the other person and start sewing.
âThis state-of-the-art system offers new hope to patients suffering from untreatable conditions such as stage-4 cancer, paralysis, and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's,â said Al-Ghaili. Start saving, the procedure isnât going to be on the NHS anytime soon. Al-Ghaili is predicting an eight-year roadmap until heads are swapped. The issue? Talent and âcurrent challengesâ namely the difficulty of spinal cord repair. Either way, no-one from the live forever brigade is ignoring the brain degeneration issues.
SO WHAT?
__ DO __ Know that the declining birth rates around the world are causing greater attention at this corner of science. Every country is thinking about way to extend good old age and looking at new birth methods tooâŠbut perhaps not quite in the way that Al-Ghaili envisions with EctoLife (warning: Matrixy/weird/possibly triggering). // __ DONâT __ Ignore the gargantuan ethical issues associated with technology of this ilk or the complexity. Beyond this, expect a ton of legal and regulatory hurdles, but with the advances in AI and robotics, science will turn fiction into reality within Gen-Zâs lifetime. Ethics aside, the costs, along with socio-economic issues this might create are interesting (Matt Damon and Elysium, anyone?).
While the procedure makes brain surgery look like a trip to the dentist, âBrainBridgeâ could âexecute complete head and face transplantation proceduresâ according to Hashem Al-Ghaili, the molecular biologist from Yemen. /8 mins
