I have been hearing alot about brain transplants and cryonic freezing. So here are a few questions:
  1. Would you still be you if your brain was transplanted? By that I mean would you have cognition the way we do now? Would your soul go too? It just seems like your brain is what makes you who you are.
  2. If you died and were put into cryonic freeze, and they were able to bring you back to life 50 years later, would you be sucked out of Heaven or Hell? Something here does not seem to fit together correctly. Or since they keep your heart beating and the blood flowing through your body right before the freeze you are you technically not dead?
It seems to me that if these two things happened and were possible, it would almost prove there was no afterlife.

Just concerned!

dont worry about it BRAIN TRANSPLANTS AND CRYOGENIC FREEZE??? THATS ONLY SCI FI

No, it wouldn’t. If one was able to be revived later, then one had not in fact died, although the persumption of death prior to the revival might be a reasonable presumption.

I wouldn’t dismiss this scenario completely out of hand as Science fiction. Much of yesterday’s science fiction is today’s science fact, and on sale at Circuit City. Adult cryonics has not yet panned out, but there are many human embryos living cryonically, and it’s probably only a matter of time before someone attempts to create a clone from cryonically preserved human cells, God forbid.

Have you been watching the news lately? All this **** they are doing with mixing human genes and animal genes. Its getting creepy. Eventually they are gonna start creating animals like the monkey with four butts from South Park. Of course, that would be amusing but could you imagine how much toilet paper that thing would need.

Okay, I originally replied to your post because I thought you wanted serious discussion, but now you’re getting goofy. Please make up your mind.

Whoa now dont get so uptight. It was and is a serious discussion. However I try and find humor in everything. The thought just made me laugh and I thought it would put a grin on someone elses face.

What would happen if a clone was created? Would it still have a soul? I just think that this science could prove no afterlife or soul.

Snowman,
You need to decide if you accept the Faith as true. If you believe that God revealed the Truth, then you know there is a soul and an afterlife. And it can’t be disproven; science cannot disprove something that is true, it can only help us better see God’s Truth acting in the physical world.

I believe it. The only thing is would this science maybe further our understanding on the afterlife and God?

No, science can’t. Science can only deal with phenomena that can be observed or measured. As the soul can be neither observed nor measured, proving or disproving its existence is outside the boundaries of science. Science can not prove or disprove the existence of an afterlife for the same reason, however some near death experiences can be observed, so that science can propose some hypotheses about death and near death experiences.
