> dhw: I'm still looking for connections. An elementary question: during these episodes, what happens to the heart? Is it kept pumping by artificial means?-Yes,yes, yes. Chest compressions and they even have a machine for that to reduce human fatigue and which also improves oxygenation.-> dhw: I ask because the implications of the transplant memories are that the brain is not the only seat of identity. Of course cell communities (organs) are interconnected, so why should the brain be the only container of identity (which includes memory)? Identity has to emerge from interaction between many cell communities. I'm not proposing anything ... just searching!-I'm searching also. The DNA of a kidney transplanted into another person might be able to transmit via the blood stream messages to the DNA of the brain. Brain DNA does all sorts of transpositions in forming memory according to very current research in mice. I still think some quantum level mechanism is at work.-It is amazing what we do not know. And I can judge that by thinking back to my twenties in medicine and where it is now. 60 more years and who knows what we will understand. My contenton is still the same. The answer to atheism is more scientific knowledge. The main tenet of the quran is we shall know Him only by His works, but will never know Him directly. A more mature assessment than the OT or the NT.
