Brainless clones would be an interesting and maybe ethical way to test gene therapies/modifications.

But making rich fucks live forever is probably what it’s going to be used for.

It’s going to be barbarism isn’t it

Interesting idea, but you’d have to solve the whole brain still going through the process of senescence problem. Essentially the brain is still deteriorating at the same rate and eventually dies from old age even if the body continues to sustain it. And of course, you’d have to figure out how to safely “hook up” the brain.

SciFi can be interesting, but the pursuit of immortality or even extensive longevity always seemed to me like a very very bad idea to me. I like living, I don’t like living enough to want to do it forever.

Many pearls will be clutched, but it’s not more gruesome then modern medicine already is, really.

Presumably a brainless human will still take decades to mature, though.
