I was discussing ‘head transplants’ with a young man today and said,
“Surely the term ‘head transplant’ doesn’t even exist? The brain is the seat of the personality and cognitive abilities. The body, however, cannot function without the brain, so technically we should refer to it as a, ‘body transplant’.”
“That’s an interesting concept,” he replied, “But this is double murder either way and you’re still under arrest.”
