It seems easier to keep someone in a coma, but what if somebody has a heart attack? Say the heart is ruined and death is imminent. Cancer? They could cut off the head and put it in a jar. No, serial killers! Do not experiment!
Google AI Overview: Need for Complex Support: To keep a brain alive, it would need to be hooked up to a machine that acts as a heart (pumping oxygenated blood), a lung (exchanging gases), and a kidney (filtering waste to prevent "blood" poisoning). Has this machine really not been made?
For those hoping to live longer, why haven't we pursued this option?
As we open our eyes only to find all that's left is our head, probably life regrets would be the first things to come to mind. Then we would hope for head immortality (or death). Google AI Overview says that to transplant the brain would cause a fatal immune response, but scientists could step on that, right? With Neuralink, couldn't we have a robot body within 20 years? This head in a jar scenario is really a step towards becoming a human-head robot human.
