    Noooo. What if the person I chose had deep, dark, demented thoughts? As if I need any more of those in my brain! :p

    But what if it meant you could now have the knowledge of a dying scientist, and then you could continue his work?

    If the technology were available, the consequences would be so varied. Terrorists could quickly transfer their plans into each others brains, making sure everyone knew it. Would school be necessary? Could we go from youngster to individual research with a single transfer of knowledge. Would it speed up our progress?

    On the other hand, when you take someone's knowledge, you lose the fun of discovery, the multitude of small victories you would normally make on your own.

    Would this make us an automaton society, everyone with the same memories, knowledge?

    There is a big logic of science here, and I wouldn't want to start on that...

    I think this would be possible some day. Are brains are basically harddrives. (unlimited space). Nothing is impossible. Theres actually a law I forget the name of it. But basically says that all laws of science aren't 100 percent true.

    Nah I wouldnt do it. I would hate this technology. Everyone gets paranoid about people knowing what they are thinking but now this paranoia is justified.

    What if it meant that you could clone yourself today, put your clone in storage and then transfer your memory to your clone years later?

    I'm sure that one day, about 50-70 years or later from now it MIGHT be available.... for a hefty fee!

    The day this becomes available, is the day life is no longer worth living. Consider the world around us, when the memory of someones past can be transferred to be as our own.

    Yikes... I don't think I like the idea but the for sure in the future that's very possible.

    I am also thinking if you can sell data from brain to brain in the future. Lets say I do some study session for some one... hehehe just like selling PLR articles... :D

    I have just realized something. I don't think it would be a good idea. There will be crazy people who kidnap "bodies" that they like. Or even a guy can become a women and trick people? Very bad idea. This may already exist. Just government won't ever let us no for a long time. I mean we already have a particle that we can create internet out of thats 10,000x faster then the net we have right now.
