If so is it possible to take it out put it somelse's brain? and would new person have thier old memories or the donor's memory?

No.  Memories are formed from bonds between neurons in the brain strengthening and fusing.  Basicly, the more you think about something, the more it gets "burnt" into your brain.\n\nThis occurs all over the entire brain, including visual, hearing, touch, taste, and smell areas.

Anyone who's ever had an organ transplant is "a creature made of sets of cells containing different DNA".\n\nIt's not impossible that you could graft or grow bits belonging to different animals into one single body, but it would take some advances in molecular biology to do it. You can't just snip the "genes for a head" from a lion and the "genes for a tail" from a snake, it's much more complicated than that.\n\nThat said, a mouse was grown a few years back that had a fully grown human ear on its back. It was supposed to indicate that replacement organs could be grown for people.

no. as soon as the brain is cut off from the body. the body would not walk.

yes, it's called communication.  Images can be conveyed through art or illustration.  Thoughts can be conveyed verbally.  Emotions through body language.  If a neurosurgeon tried cutting and pasting, he would have a big gooey mess on his hands, not to mention some very angry bereaved families.  Besides, neural networks only make sense in the context of the remainder of the brain's network system at large, so it would be like trying to do physical splicing with a floppy disk.  It wouldn't work.

Technically, it would be possible, but likely very delicate.  Experiments are underway to assists people with disabilities, and look promising, but the control is done with very coarse setting like "thinking about talking" and "thinking about moving the foot", so that very distinct area of the brain are involved, so that they are easily distinguished in operation. To go beyond that, and be able to control very delicate instrument with high precision like it was one own limb would probably require going in and tapping the nerves directly; picking up the signal though the thickness of the skull and homing to an area that is measured in millimeter -- let alone singling out one neuron -- is asking too much.

A law? No way. You can't compel someone to give up the body parts of their dead loved ones. That's just wrong, and I think against some religions.\n\nShould you be able to compel blood donations, too? Granted, the person isn't dead but they don't really NEED all that blood, do they? They can make more.\n\nI really don't NEED all my bone marrow or one of my kidneys---okay I'm actually saving the spare kidney for a friend who may need it---but you get the point.\n\nOrgan donation is a great thing. I am down as an organ donor and I support it. Forcing it is another thing entirely.

As a route to 'recover' memories, it is discredited.  A close friend was in 'treatment' about 10 years ago with a therapist who thought this would be a key to his problems.  \nHis wife happened to mention to me about his horrific past.  When I questioned her, I found out that he and the therapist had invented a past that was impossible, due to my knowledge of his whereabouts during that time period.  The invented 'past' was heavily themed with his phobias and obsessive thoughts that he should have been working on freeing himself from.\n\nUnless the lack of involvement with her past is causing problems in the present - let it be.  If it is in combination with problems in the present, consult a regular licensed psychologist.

Anything is possible.  We're talking about something that happened a long time ago.  The only thing we had left is what someone wrote down.  At some point in time anyone could delete/add anything.

The "copy" at the other side would have an identical body, brain and all your memories, and therefore it would certainly look and act like you. It would also believe that it was you (a bit Blade Runner this answer!). So maybe that's enough to say that it is you.\n\nNow imagine if the machine malfunctioned and instead of obliterating you it copied you to the new location but left the original intact. The "copy" would still "know" that it was the original that had been teleported. The original would "know" that it was the original, because nothing had happened.\n\nDavid J. was right when he said it comes down to whether you believe we have a soul, but personally I think that both copies would have equal claim to being the "you" that stepped into the teleport. From each of their perspectives, looking BACK in time, they would have a unbroken stream of consciousness. Their memories would only diverge from one another at the point the teleport kicked in.\n\nThe only reason we think there's a conflict here, is because we try to look FORWARDS in time and imagine whether it's possible for our consciousness to "split" in two. We decide that our unique consciousness is what makes us "us" and that it must be impossible to create two copies, as one consciousness can't be in two bodies at a time.\n\nI think that consciousness is just the brain pattern that we have at a moment in time, coupled with the memories we have. It doesn't exist as a real entity that persists over time, but recreates itself anew from second to second. The "you" of a second ago no longer exists, and has been replaced by the "you" of right now. This is a process that continues step by step from birth to death. I guess this is a way of me refuting the idea of an immortal soul! But if you think of consciousness that way, the conflict is resolved, it's just that the "you" that existed a split second before the teleport, ceased to exist, and was replaced by two new beings that are both new versions of you.

Without a search and just an opinion? I do not believe the person donated to would have much of a potential for being framed, the DNA of the donated organ is not going to match the DNA of the person it is going into. \n\nYou do mention donated hair and soft tissue. If anything, these may lead back to the now dead person. So, if I were able to get most of my body rebuilt from donated organs and stuff, could I do anything I want and frame all of the dead people? Expecially if I only let them conirm my DNA via a blood or saliva sample?

This is not possible for countless reasons.  First of all, when you say elements, the body is comprised primarily of cells, and all cells are subject to immune system monitoring, just like any invasive substance.  Now, all of the cells body express products that tell the body "this is your body, do not kill me".  Any part that does not express these products will be destroyed.  This is what makes transplants difficult.  So your idea is something that can never come to fruition.

Early sexual stimulation and love and affection allow the cortex to grow faster and usually leaves an extra fold in the brain's outer layer. Now you explain why you think it is proper to ask mentally ill people about photographic memories. Do you know something you didn't tell us in the question. Why not be fully honest with us?

nope, that data is lost for good, you can remove that image from the external drive, but you can't recover the data that was there before he copied over it

No one would own your clone but your clone. When cloned, the new person is an actual person who cannot be owned anymore than you can be owned. To do so would be slavery.

Absolutely not.  For one thing, transplants like that are often risky, resulting in immune responses to it.  Second, even if it did happen successfully, there is no point.  Muscles are simply cells of myosin and actin filaments contracting.  I'm not sure whether it's possible to get the nervous connections working, most likely not.  But besides that point, it's about control of muscles, which lies in YOUR nervous system rather than in the muscle, which has no control over movement, it just contracts.

The short answer is no.\n\nThe long answer is no, never, not ever, no how, no way, don't even think about it, impossible, etc... :)\n\nDNA is the instruction manual for every living multicellular organism and is contained in every nucleus of every cell in the body.  It is physically impossible to extract DNA from an organism without killing it, liquifying it, and separating the nucleic acids from all the other proteins.  Not something anyone would volunteer for, I would imagine.  Then you would have to figure out how to insert this into trillions upon trillions of cells before the receiving body dies due to lack of protein production.\n\nAlso, even if somehow you were able to extract DNA from every cell and replace it with some other DNA, you would end up destroying the organism anyway.   Changing the DNA is like using a cake recipe to build a car engine.  You would only end up with a mess under the hood.  \n\nEven if you replaced the DNA with another human being's DNA, there would be such severe rejection because of the production of non-self proteins and HLA mismatches that the body would almost immediately cease to function.  It is difficult enough to transplant a heart without causing rejection by the host body because of specific proteins found in the donor organ.  Imagine what would happen if every cell was doing the same thing... think of that senator character from the first X-men movie.

From what I have read it can.  My father was admitted to the hospital and his sodium was very low and this causes memory loss.
