     1.5  please feel free. I'd love to hear about it if you do.

    1.14 +- test dummies :: why don't we clone encephalic humans and use then to
    1.15 +                  test /in vivo/ human organ systems and drugs? It
    1.16 +                  would be ethical as long as there are women who are
    1.17 +                  willing to host the clones, and it would be a
    1.18 +                  trememdous resource for studying the human body. I
    1.19 +                  see nothing wrong with it morally, since no one is
    1.20 +                  suffering, and it stands to save many lives throught
    1.21 +                  more advanced technology.
    1.22 +
    1.23 +- X-ray telepresence :: given that a doctor is operating on a patient
    1.24 +     via telepresence, one cool things you can do is shine X-rays into
    1.25 +     the patient to view the insides during real time. If the system
    1.26 +     was coupled with a baysean model of the layout of the structure,
    1.27 +     and the x-rays were only fired whenever the uncertaintity of the
    1.28 +     model reached a certain threshold, then the radiation damage
    1.29 +     and surgery risk could be minimized.
    1.30 +
    1.31 +- superfluid vascular system :: I wonder what would happen if you
    1.32 +     replaced the blood in a human with a superfluid. What would the
    1.33 +     physical dynamics be? Would the superfluid flow through the
    1.34 +     vasculature, or would it ignore it and travel through the cells,
    1.35 +     or something else entirely. Since superfluids need to be cold to
    1.36 +     retain their superfluidity, how would the dynamics change during
    1.37 +     perfusion of a superfluid, where the fluid gains and looses
    1.38 +     superfluidity as it goes deeper into the body and is cooled by
    1.39 +     superfluid from upstresm. In summary there are two things to
    1.40 +     simulate 1.) replace all blood in human with superfluid
    1.41 +     instantly. 2.) perfuse superfluid into human.

    1.43  - projective guessing :: I think that we read and see things by
    1.44       makeing a really good guess about what we're expecting to see,
