It has been a loooong time since I saw that one. I also thought of the second season of the Buck Rogers TV series. There was a robot (Kryton) that had an organic brain. Also, the titular starship in Star Trek: Voyager had organic “packs” that were part of the computer system

Ooops, the robot that I mentioned in the Buch Rogers TV was actually named “Crichton.”

“The first Cyborg has been created. They train the mini-brains using a carrot and stick approach, pleasure or pain. In other words do what we want or torture is what you get. This is wrong on so many levels. I am not surprised that they are doing this for Green reasons.”

And I am not surprised that the godless, anti-Christ left scientists are trying to reverse-engineer God’s work re: creating humans and the human brain. The human brain is, in fact, an organic computer, that these scientists will never be able to fully comprehend. They’ll never even come close to creating what God did... much less understand it. They will, however, keep trying until God finally shuts them down.... permanently.

“Adulterating that which is made in God’s image is an affront to God.”

How is this adulterating that which is made in God’s image?

One of the ROBOCOP movies saw the brain of drug addict drug dealer implanted into a military-type weaponized robot body. He had to do the Boss’s bidding to get his next fix.

As long as they are growing brains, perhaps they could transplant some that work into Democrats.

The transplant would reject the host!

Where is Spock’s brain?

What is brain?

What have you done to Mr. Spock?

I don’t know this Spock and I don’t know brain.

The most important question that is rarely asked when someone is doing something truly revolutionary.

Or: What is the worst that could happen?

And just think, they want to make these mini-brains immortal!

Add to that, they will be constantly torturing these brains.

What happens when you torture someone long enough?

They either go insane or they retaliate. Maybe both.

They intend to put these mini-brains into AI machines.

So, ask those two question again.
