scary what you can live without. i need my entire body!

Talk about Futurama.

Well, technically speaking, all that one needs to "live" is the brain (nervous system- some parts). I'll tell you why. In tests and studies done in some of my father's laboratories, the scientists have found out that the brain can "live" without any other natural body parts. So far, they have been able to prove this. As far as artificial parts, some are required. Such parts include a pump that circulates an "artificial blood-like fluid", a part that injects certain materials that are needed by brain into that fluid, a jelly-like substance that the brain should be encompassed in, and a device used to keep the jelly-like substance in a controlled state. Such control factors included, but are not limited to, temperature, pressure, viscosity, and vibrational frequency distributions.

The blood-like fluid and jelly-like substances are top secret and I will not disclose their compositions on this article. Also note that the only organic materials left in the final stages were brain tissue, blood-like fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid. The volume of these three Intracranial contents or in this case, Intragellian contents, have to be of certain proportions at all times. Since one can not alter the volume of a brain, the blood-like fluid and cerebrospinal fluid volumes have to be calculated based on the volume of the brain. Our scientists and neurosurgeons calculated the optimal proportional percentages to be 79% for the brain, 11% for the blood-like fluid, and 10% for the cerebrospinal fluid. These percentages should not exceed a precision difference of +/- 1%.

One might ask, "Why weren't the veins and arteries used for the blood-like fluid circulation listed under the [organic materials left in the final stages] area?" The answer is that the veins and arteries used in the final stages were not organic but artificial. One of the most complicated processes for our neurosurgeons was to connect artificial veins and arteries to the brain. It took over four years of extensive research and experiments to perfect the process. Although that process was extremely complicated it was finally done and now we make artificial vertebral, basilar, superior cerebellar, middle cerebral, posterior cerebral, posterior communicating, internal carotid, anterior cerebral, and anterior communicating arteries that are used in the final stages. Although perfecting those processes was difficult, it was not the most difficult task.

The most difficult task of all was knowing exactly how fast to circulate the blood-like fluid throughout the brain. First, the the amount of cerebral oxygen consumption by white matter and gray matter had to be calculated. A team of scientists was administered to figure out exactly what substances a brain needs. These substances would be injected into the blood-like fluid. As of now, we have over 820 different substances that can be injected into the blood-like fluid at any time.

At all times, brain activity was monitored and recorded in many different ways.What awed us all was the fact that at first, the we noticed that in the early stages, only 6.3% of the brain was active, but the activity kept on increasing at a rate of about 3.5% daily. After three months, the brain activity reached an alarming activity percentage of 49.2%. after continual monitoring, we found out that the activity kept increasing until it went to 73.3 %. After this, it fluctuated by about 6% daily but kept an average of 64.2%. There were two instances where it went up to over 89%, but only stayed at those levels for seconds. Even at those high percentages, no sign of telekinetic forces were exhibited.

So far we have done over 1560 experiments and have decreased the average loss of neurons by as much as 99.2%. For example, the average loss of neocortical neurons in a normal human brain is 1.1 per second. In some brains in our laboratories, the average loss of neocortical neurons is one in 102.3 seconds. This was our greatest breakthrough, and it was determined that the different substances
injected into the blood-like fluid accounted for this decrease in average loss of neurons.

Then a year later, in 1974, a scientist tried to communicate with a brain. He tried to attach the optic nerves back along with an eye. I can't tell you any more, but lets just say that you don't want to know more because it seriously gets scare from here and on. The reason I am extending my knowledge to this publicly unchartered territory is because I foresee an elimination to the human race because of these extreme technological advances. Scientists out there now have the knowledge to build an "Extreme Human" that can live forever, is extremely intelligent, and if mass produced, can wipe out us regular humans completely. Based on what I've seen, no longer is a "cyborg" just a fictional character. I just hope that I will not be here to see the change.
