It + would be ethical as long as there are women who are + willing to host the clones, and it would be a + trememdous resource for studying the human body.

If the system + was coupled with a baysean model of the layout of the structure, + and the x-rays were only fired whenever the uncertaintity of the + model reached a certain threshold, then the radiation damage + and surgery risk could be minimized. + +- superfluid vascular system :: I wonder what would happen if you + replaced the blood in a human with a superfluid. What would the + physical dynamics be? Would the superfluid flow through the + vasculature, or would it ignore it and travel through the cells, + or something else entirely. Since superfluids need to be cold to + retain their superfluidity, how would the dynamics change during + perfusion of a superfluid, where the fluid gains and looses + superfluidity as it goes deeper into the body and is cooled by + superfluid from upstresm. In summary there are two things to + simulate 1.) replace all blood in human with superfluid + instantly. 2.) perfuse superfluid into human. - projective guessing :: I think that we read and see things by makeing a really good guess about what we're expecting to see,
