Re: can ur brain be put in a big robot hooked up by computers to control it

Dear Luke,

I'm sorry, you're out of luck at the present moment.  
Putting your brain into a robot means taking it out of your body, in other 
words cutting it off from its present means of life support and placing it 
into the metal box of a robot head.  It would die in there on its own in 
very few minutes.  There is as yet no way to supply a brain isolated in a 
box with the oxygen and nutrients it needs.

If you want this to become possible, your best bet is to keep your brain 
and body together, and use them to either do the necessary scientific 
research, or else to make enough money so you can pay somebody else to do 
it.

What IS happening right now is the development of microchips that can be 
inserted into the human brain to change its function.  At present this is 
for mind control.  
Related devices have been designed for insertion into muscle.  They could 
in some cases help somebody who was paralysed in an accident to walk 
again. 

regards,
Bobby
