    Funnily, I think some day in the future we will be able to scan and read
    the brains directly. Even now, we can tell if a subject has knowledge on
    a subject by showing a picture and having him on a "brain scanner"
    of sorts... Read a story on it someplace a while back..

    - There is no reason why memory imprints shouldn't be readable in the
    future. The only question is how to interpret them, and perhaps transfer
    them to a computer, and "reboot" the human system there.

    Some immortality fans here might wish to freeze & donate their brains to
    such research use, after their expiration date? :)

    As to the treating of prisoners, I think both sides should stick to Geneva
    Accords. You can't ask for one thing and do something else yourself when
    it comes to these things.

    Do you think it's OK if Americans are subjected to questionably working
    "truth serums" while held prisoner, against their will?

    What goes around, comes around. Americans tend to forget it and lash
    out only when "their own prisoners are shown walking on TV" by their
    captors- oh god, how humiliated they must have been, and all against
    the Geneva Accords... Gosh..

    A treaty has meaning when both sides respect it. What would you think
    is OK when it comes to the treatment of your son that is caught and
    held prisoner? Somehow Americans find this so incredibly hard to think.

    I'm sure American prisoners will equally give valuable information to
    the other side when suitably tortured.

    Why isn't it OK then? - You tell me?
