Says who?

You certainly don't grow millions of neurons each day and restore all of the connections. If millions died each days you'd be a vegetable before the week was half over.

They do.

You are debateing with a guy who mutiulated Einstein's most famous equation:P How credible can he be about scientific matters?

How long does the OP have to bounce this thread before it's no longer a troll thread?

besides which, there's nothing in it regarding cyborgs, and it's not a game. NEXT.

ARRGH!!!! Dammit. It's a philosophical excersise NOT A TROLL!!!

It's called the cyborg game because the origonal incarnation of teh question involved replaceing human neurons with cybernetic neurons that preformed the same function, as opposed to building an entirly artificial mechanical brain.

Any part which deals with cognative thought.
The brain deals with a lot of things. In fact, it deals with every function of every system in the body. Replacing a part of my brain that tells my body to move my left forfinger with that of a rat, would not make me a different person...although it may cripple my finger.

*rolls eyes* Oh come on you people have to have better biological background than that.

MILLIONS of neurons involved in cognitative thought die every day. Loseing a few, or replaceing a few with rat cells, would have no to virtually no effect on you. It's an open question how many you WOULD have to replace before you started to notice effects. As a guess I would say 5-10%?

That really is the question here. How human do you have to be to be considered human?

I said very clearly that I supersized the rat.

Allright. How much of your brain do I have to replace with a rat's before you are no longer human?:P

I feel the need to comment on this, but how do you troll a troll guide?

[/ QUOTE ]

Typically you point out, in a dry and ineffable style, that this guide serves no purpose whatsoever on the boards except to incite illogical argument, which does noone any good, and solves nothing, and then make calls to the approite devs/mods/pagen deitys to have the thread locked and/or deleted, it also helps to then post a quote from the message that you just suppoadly sent to the devs, as it lends crediablity and rightous-seeming outrage to your statement, also, run on sentances are your friend.

Here let's play a game. It's called the cyborg game.(sorta)

Is it acceptable to experiment on...rats, for science?
If I make the rat really really big (Genetic engineering) is it still ok to experiment on it for science to save human lives?

Allright, now I replace...0.01% of the rat's neural tissue with human neural tissue. (This has been done recently for reallllz) Is that rat human? Is it ok to experiment on that rat to save human lives?

Ok, now I add a bit more....0.05%. FIVE TIMES! ...But still not enough to make it human.

You can see where this is going. How much human neural tissue do I have to add to a rat before that rat becomes a human and deserves protection?

Is there an IQ test I can give a particularly brillaint human-rat hybrid that will qualify it as 'intelligent'?
What happens when a human fails that test? Is it ok to experiment on them?

The world is not full of these pretty little lines. Some species of birds _ARE_ smarter than some particularly retarded species of humans. Elephants?

Ultimatly the 'line' that you cross is going to be drawn in a diffrent place by nearly everyone on the planet.

Now take a super intelligent alien race. Where do they draw the line? The same place we draw it? How CONVIENT! Or mabey they draw it at a level that no human can currently reach?

It would then be perfectly acceptale for said alien race to for instance...Wipe every human off the face of the planet because they needed the water in our oceans. Evil to us, evil to them?

Who's God and why does HE get to draw the line?

Worthy of testing:

Since longbow flamethrowers can lay down 'infinite' burn patches..Why not have a MASS Group of many villain MMs, with all their pets, and as many other villains as you can muster...Have a /fire brute herd up say 16 flamethroewers, kill everything else, herd them all to a corner, have a high-acc wormhole or black hole intang them all. Group Teleport the huge mass of villains next ot the longbow, and ...

Wait for the resulting server crash?

I think if this were actually done, the devs would have no choice but to change the power.

..Actually the COT not haveing females directly contradicts the in-game lore.

Those little green - stuff rings that have a trapped person in them who, if you watch long enough, actually BECOMES a cot? They are usually, if not always, female. Therefore the COT that are made from them should be female, but are not...

OMG!!!!! COX SUPPPORTS TRANSGENDERIFICATON!!!!Im telling PETA on you.
