@ Sae,
My point is that the brain is another part of the body just as the heart is... I don't see how it is not the body.
If you are to have a synthetic body and a synthetic brain then your synthetic brain is still just another part of your synthetic body. Or if you have a mix of synthetic and organic I still don't see how this makes your brain 'not a part of your body'. I don't see how your brain can exist without it being part of your body.
Yes viruses have no 'they' in the sense that there is no "they" as in - they're not conscious. But they are still alive in the sense they are an organism. If you define living as conscious then, fine - but that still won't derail the fact that as far as I know a brain requires the rest of the body - whether organic or synthetic. I don't see how you can claim the brain is not a part of the body. The mind, maybe - but then you'd be a dualist and 'mind' is different to simply 'brain' as in the physical mind in your head.
@fr0d0 I think Child of Our Time is brilliant.
