Blood, brains, guilty or innocent?

A lot on my mind today.

First, there is a blood drive going on in our community today, so I'm stocking up on liquids (water is best) and protein. I haven't been able to give blood for a while...(I was either sick, or out of town).

I've taken a few days off from running (it depletes your body of water and generally wears you down).
I want to be in tip top shape for giving blood.
Why?
Because my blood...that flowing red river rushing through my veins, keeping my heart pumping, giving my lungs breathing power, clotting my cuts, that ingenious miracle liquid...can be put into another person to do the same thing.

Isn't that amazing? It's so personal. The only way I can help you more is to give you my organs. A lung, a liver...a heart.

Why couldn't Terri be given a brain? Do you think that could be possible someday? A brain transplant? There's just one HUGE problem...it wouldn't be Terri anymore. It sounds like Sci-Fi, but I think one day we might see it. If a way can be found to find and remove the section of the brain that controls memory and personal likes/dislikes in the damaged brain...Replacing that section in the donated brain...followed by a successful surgical transplant...
Terri could have woken up (partially) herself?
My logic may have serious flaws. I'm sure any scientist in that field would argue it could never be done. But isn't that what pushes technology on? One of them, anyway.
Personally I think Terri's brain could have been cloned in a medical lab during those 15 years she lay in a vegetative state. I'm not challenging the ethics of the matter- I'm just sayin...I think it could have been done.

Have you heard of "Brain Fingerprinting"?
It's kind of like a lie detector. Except regular polygraphs measure a persons breathing rate, blood pressure, perspiration and pulse. I don't think they are very accurate in their intended use. Finding the truth. Here's why...if you can control your heart rate and nerves (which a lot of people can, especially cold hearted killers) you'll pass. If you get nervous taking tests anyway plus afraid you'll be sent to jail, even though you are innocent, you'll fail.
So, there is this new technology out called brain fingerprinting.
It measures brain wave activity when told information about a crime that only the guilty person would know. Like the polygraph, it bases it's "guilty or not guilty" findings on the person's reaction. Only this one goes to the source (memory), not the symptoms which I don't think can be controlled by the suspect, unless he can block out memories...(opps, snag...people can do that, huh?)

Will it work? I guess we'll see...

There ya go...my thoughts for the day.
