Brain-pacemakers are being used to treat patients suffering from
severe depression and the potentials of the technology are being
expanded on. What happens when brain stimulation is safe and not
only reserved to people suffering from disorders?
“Brain pacemakers” are used to treat people who suffer from
epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, clinical depression and other
diseases. The pacemaker is a medical device that is implanted into
the brain to send electrical signals into the tissue.
For those of you who don’t know what they are the paragraph
above is the first sentence from the wikipedia article and as you
can see the treatment the technology provides is quite vast and
immediate.
Lets look down the winding road a little bit and consider what a
world it would be like if these pacemakers become easy to implant
and remove self maintaining and powering. A nanobot for
stimulation?! what scientist would dare consider such a thing.
Well i found an article a while back in wired which had this to
claim:
Implant Achieves Female Orgasm
One woman undergoing treatment for back pain may have discovered
a cure for the thousands of woman frustrated by the inability to
achieve orgasm.
While Dr. Stuart Meloy was putting an electrode into the woman’s
spine in an attempt to ease her chronic pain, he not only reduced
her back pain, but gave her an unexpected – but delightful –
side-effect.
“She said, ‘You’re going to have to teach my husband how to do
that’,” Meloy, an anesthesiologist and pain specialist in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina, said. The discovery is published in
Wednesday’s issue of New Scientist. (cont.)
Humans have engineered sex instruments since we discovered we
have hands.. could it be that such a device could become a
commercial sex device this is one blogger who sincerely hopes so!
:D
And theres more (for those of you who have read my earlier
post)
An article in Ananova claims:
“A newly-developed microchip implanted into the body will allow
two people to share each other’s pain, movement and even sexual
excitement, claims an expert in artificial intelligence.”
So it appears not only are individuals potentially melding into
one super-entity even the social identity of sex is eroding (as the
law is also adjusting to and the popularity of gay culture)
Id like to end with a quote i enjoy:
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a
part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his
thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind
of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind
of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to
affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free
ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to
embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its
beauty.”
- Albert Einstein
