As interesting as the video is, there are some fatal flaws in the design of the experiment. The first, and possibly most important point is this:

"..a woman stimulated herself inside an fMRI machine."

The reason that is so critical is because, since the stimulation was 100% self generated in an environment that could hardly be described as stimulating, a lot of the brain activity they are seeing is probably being generated by a mix of memory and fantasy that the woman is using to stimulate herself in addition to whatever physical method she is using.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
