I wonder, do you think that people's brains, when they transfer between bodies, that they retain such things as muscle memory? I mean, it might make sense for that to be retained, being a memory and all, but the new body probably doesn't have the same muscular capacity as the old body did. So, what would happen? Would you go to do something that requires muscle memory, like throwing a football, and totally over-or under- compensate for it? Or would you simply have no memory at all, and just have to learn how to throw a football all over again?
This opens up a whole new can of worms: how then do you walk? Surely such a thing is muscle memory, something you learn, like where your center of balance is, when you're like 1. You'd have to re-learn that as well. And talking! What about that? You'd have to re-learn how to talk too, if your brain jumped bodies.
I also wonder about your immune system, would you retain your immunities? I know the brain doesn't control antibodies directly or anything like that, but it does hold the Hypathalumus, which controls body temperature, and relgulation of body temperature is something essential to staying healthy.
Wait, that probably wouldn't be working right, either: the Hypathalmus. How would it know how to regulate your body's temperature correctly? It might produce way to much seritonin, too, it might put you in a coma! Wow I really had overlooked this before! You could boil over! What temperature does your body cease to function, is it 108 or 115 degrees Farenheit? You might hit those very easily if you went from a large body to a smaller one. Inversely, you could freeze to death just the same, if you went from small to large.
Dr. Frankenstein probably never took these things into consideration. I doubt they taught such things at Ingolstadt, though, back then they thought that people were born as either criminals or law-abiding citizens. That's why Inspector Javert pisses me off.
But, I digress.
So, it can then be argued that, if you were to successfully perform a cross-body-transfusion-brain-exchange-thing, that you would:
-1) not be able to talk
-2) not be able to walk
-3) not be able to throw a football
-4) your body temperature will go screwball on you, resulting in:
---a. freezing to death
---b. boiling in your own skin
-5) go into a coma from serotonin overdose or underdose
-6) be chased up Mont Blanc by your creator
Note: this was inspired by watching the movie: Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941).
Now, debate!
