Worlds First Cyborg Kinda makes me sad....

[BLue BoMBeR]

just think MegaMan X and you will know what will happen to the nearest future....

Sweet! No actual living things! Even all the trees are mechanical! 

  theres human and trees living in MMX saga even animals...

[UltraRoboninja]

Oops. I only played 1 and 4, and most of the regular Mega Man games. Only humans I ever saw were Wily and Light. -shrug-

Hmmmmnn, I cant advocate animal testing like this. Personally I think they should have to use sewer rats, and not domestic rats, but Im betting their domesticated rats. Personally I wouldnt show this till further along. A living brain without site, or feeling doensnt show me much other than a suffering organism in a remote car, dying probably from pure misery. had I seen some evidence of quality of life, I might have been more accepting. This is like the scene in Robocop 2 where they show all the failed attempts to build a 2nd Robocop. I think these experiments are a necessary evil, but I think it'd have been best to show some more impressive results. As far as artificial limbs go, we could do a lot more through clone, and stem cell research rather than attach a mechanical limb youd have to take drugs to keep your body from rejecting for the rest of your life.

Very ture, but Mechanical Limbs also have military applacations. Like having hidden ranged and melee weapons inserted into them, or other equipment. Also the added gripping strengh of a true mechanical limb could possably be used for ripping down doors and fences, bending steel bars and such.
Better fo use in say an elete squad, or something like that. Clone'ed parts would be better for general population.

Yeah u guys was right, i guess i got that idea from that movie i mentioned above and also from Star ship Troopers.... Well, the cloningwould be tight, if it was like The 5th Element movie... they reconsturcted this person's whole body....

Pretty much sums up my feeling on the matter. Animal behavior is one of my areas of expertise, and from watching that video and the way this... thing... behaves, all I see is a tortured animal that's freaking out from not understanding what's happened to it. The fact that the brain only lives for about 3 months doesn't make me feel any better. While I'm a big advocate of scientific progress, experiments like this I find disturbing. I truly don't believe that the gains that might be made from this type of research will justify its cost and potential dangers.

Well, I'm in serouis doubt that the robot is actual control from a rat brain.  Rats don't just run around in the open?  However if it is true, nothing good will come of this.  Why would they just not try to give a rat a leg or something like that.

y the hell does that keep happening 

[Gore Whore]

...wow.

A robot controlled by tissues from multiple rat brains. I wonder what the ultimate goal's behind such projects....

world domination

You have to put the end of the url in the youtube box, not the whole thing, watch, quote me and up there and you will see..

Hmm...  I just I just rack it up to say you just can't understand how everything works

pretty soon they are gonna use human brains if they havent already and we are gonna have a whole bunch of bryan furies walking around. remember what if they took the brain of human that was a murder? then you will see a whole new war because they can program it to learn and know everything

thats scary >.<

[Gaijin]

yeah but its coming thanks to whole bunch of idiotic scientist. the government is gonna pull them in and use their research watch

[George Costanza]

as long as their used for war and not stuck in with the general population i wont be concerned 

[thefisherkings]

the hole ideal is think of it a force of supermans, not fun
