You say it would be AOC?
Not to worry, Democrats would make sure the cells were programmed to their specifications.
Aren’t there some B- movies from the 50s about this?
Been a couple with similar plots:
“The Brain That Wouldn’t Die” (1962) A doctor named Bill Cortner keeps his fiancée’s severed head alive after she is decapitated in a car accident.
and
Steve Martin’s “The Man With Two Brains” (1983)...............
They ended the experiment on a pig’s brain after six hours. But in the last paragraph of the excerpt, they say they kept human brains “cellularly active” for up to 24 hours.
The whole thing approaches C. S. Lewis’ novel _That Hideous Strength._ Or the movie “The Matrix.”
???
The Brain That Wouldn’t Die, that’s the one I was thinking of.
In the near future, before death your entire life memory will be uploaded into a device. Everything you’ve ever experienced and felt. Every thought. That device which will be powered by a couple of triple A batteries, can then be put next to a picture of yourself up on the mantel, and you’ll be able to talk to everyone still alive, and relive all those cherished memories with Uncle Bob and aunt Betty.
It's a great comedy show. I watch the reruns and they still make me laugh. All the girls are gone now, may they rest in peace. And BTW, Bea Arthur was a former Marine in WWII....................
Glad you liked it. I didn’t.
You forgot a good candidate for Mystery Science Theater:
They Saved Hitler’s Brain

If we are now being told about such experiments as these, except with the deliberate precaution done to ‘prevent actual consciousness’ you better believe it already has been done,
is now being done, with full consciousness somewhere, maybe in the US, maybe China or any dozen places around the globe with the latest in equipment. The scientists don’t think the general public is ‘ready’ to deal with this new reality of procedure. Same as ‘they’ do in reference to UFOs.
"But it is very easy," said Filostrato. "We have found how to make a dead man live. He was a wise man even in his natural life. He live now forever: he get wiser. Later, we make them live better--for at present, one must concede, this second life is probably not very agreeable to him who has it. You see? Later we make it pleasant for some--perhaps not so pleasant for others. For we can make the dead live whether they wish it or not. He who shall be finally king of the universe can give this life to whom he pleases. They cannot refuse the little present."
