Any progress on controlling the body of a brain-dead human like a robot?
Suppose you have a brain-dead but otherwise healthy human. How difficult would it be to create an artificial brain to control their body like a robot and perhaps even enable them to become a functioning member of society again?
From a technical standpoint there’s probably no value as it would offer no benefit for the insane cost.
From an ethical standpoint probably impossible from the start.
This could be a challenge for neuralink in the future. But it might be very difficult in the first place to find an appropriate controller/interface to control all the muscles of a body and the senses. I'm no expert but I really don't see how it could be done.
Likely to be a lengthy development process. Pithed humans don't stay fresh very long at all.
If they're brain-dead, there's no "they" there to become a member of anything. They'd be as much of a functioning member of society as a car.
