Looks Like A Brain Transplant Has Already Happened
High School | Learning
| November 5, 2014
(We are in an all-school assembly, listening to a speaker talk about organ and tissue donation. A freshman raises her hand.)
Speaker: “Yes, you there.”
Student: “So, if you get a brain transplant, do you, like, have the other person’s thoughts?”
Speaker: *obviously trying to gauge the seriousness of the asker* “Um, no.”
Student: *in all honesty* “Why not?”
Speaker: *trying to keep a straight face* “Because brain transplants aren’t something we have learned how to do. You cannot donate your brain; you cannot receive someone else’s brain.”
Student: “Oh.”
