Researchers at Yale University have restored circulation to the brains of decapitated pigs, and kept the organs alive for several hours.
Their aim is to develop a way of studying intact human brains in the lab for medical research.
Although there is no evidence that the animals were aware, there is concern that some degree of consciousness might have remained.
They discovered that he could restore their circulation using a system of pumps, heaters, and bags of artificial blood.
As a result the researchers were reportedly able to keep the cells in the brain alive and capable of normal activity for as long as 36 hours.
Prof Sestan is said to have described the result as "mind-boggling". If this could be repeated with human brains, researchers would be able to use them to test out new treatments for neurological disorders.
Pig brains kept alive without a body
How, though? Even if you can technologically do it, you would never get the ethical approval through to keep someone's brain in a jar for testing neurological treatments.
Is the brain damaged?
Is it gone mad with no sensory input?
Jim why would you do this?
Beware the incoming army of cyborg Miss Piggy Muppets. BEWARE!!!
If they can keep blood flowing to the arcuate fascilicus, the pig's head should be able to talk long enough to describe what it was like being sodomized by Jim.
I doubt the people who would want a human brain to continue working past when said human dies gives a shit about ethics.
You see what's coming if you disobey the botnet
I can't stand Sci-Fi… I've always hated it, even as a child, and I particularly hate it as an adult…
I can't stand it…
underrated post
Wait Johnny I thought you were a huge faggot for the 50's, or are you more of a noir type of guy.
Shots about to get real people

Pum-ch, pum-ch, pum-ch. Dead or alive, you're coming with me.
watch psycho pass.
it's happening.
In People's Soviet Republic ethical testing approves YOU.
We in the US call this Congress.
this story is just to soften us up in the preparation for the big news… we are all just brains in a jar, nothing more.
WHO NEET HERE?
They were able to do this in the 30s with wolves, and in the 60s with monkeys. Call me when they are able to send and receive sensory information.
I can already guess the one word the pig would use to describe being sodomized by jim,
"Underwhelming."
I bet you only played as Atredies?
I HAVE NO SNOUT AND I CANNOT SQUEAL
I can't wait for;
>OMG THIS IS PROOF THERE IS NO SOUL!!!
When it is literally the opposite. Also a bodiless soul trapped is a punishment by Satan IIRC.
They absolutely would not get the approval.
That; however, does not mean that despite the "whistleblowers" coming forth that they will be punished or held to account.
>muh Zig Forums boogeyman :^)
jesus fucking christ you guys shouldn't comment about anything regarding science, go back to your 2000 year old book le superstition
the only pussies that care about that enough to make restrictions on ethics is the west, which is pretty quickly losing the position to do so in the first place. chinese already have programs regarding genetic modification in human trials, while we are arguing in europe about the use of it in fucking plants.

God bless you, user…
Cute
