Artificial Brain 10 Years Away
Full Article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8164060.stm
Seems to call into question: How many body parts can we replace until our 'self' is someone/thing else? Perhaps the 'soul' adapts to an altered body?
-------------
A detailed, functional artificial human brain can be built within the next 10 years, a leading scientist has claimed.
Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, has already simulated elements of a rat brain.
He told the TED Global conference in Oxford that a synthetic human brain would be of particular use finding treatments for mental illnesses.
Around two billion people are thought to suffer some kind of brain impairment, he said.
"It is not impossible to build a human brain and we can do it in 10 years," he said.
"And if we do succeed, we will send a hologram to TED to talk."

No big surprise.
They don't really need to build a brain to fix a brain, of course. And seeing what they do to brains with what they already know, it is scary to think of what they will do when they can manufacture their own.
Why depend on people when we can manufacture our own properly obedient subjects.
Humanity's hatred for itself is really astounding. But now he can just replace himself, kewl.
