So I have heard reports that they dug up info on the wrong person

http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/...-a7680221.html

well now someone's really getting sued. Both Dao should sue

edit: now I'm hearing reports that its' the same person after all?
edit2: there are 2 Daos. One from the UA incident and the other that unrelated man was somehow dragged into this.

US Carrier Task Force Wasn't Heading to Korea After All

Quote:
As worries deepened last week about whether North Korea would conduct a missile test, the White House declared that ordering an American aircraft carrier into the Sea of Japan would send a powerful deterrent signal and give President Trump more options in responding to the North’s provocative behavior.

The problem was, the carrier, the Carl Vinson, and the four other warships in its strike force were at that very moment sailing in the opposite direction, to take part in joint exercises with the Australian Navy in the Indian Ocean, 3,500 miles southwest of the Korean Peninsula.
Indeed, a photo taken by the Navy itself showed the carrier in the Sunda Strait, which separates the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra, on April 15th.

The Vinson might reach the Sea of Japan sometime next week.

Hong Kong's a perfect example of why democracy a better form of government than communism. In democracy people knows their channels and way to change things if there unhappy, it might be a hard slog in some cases, but you can always try. In a communist state by contrast, the government decides everything, and if they disagree with you, tough luck.

I feel sorry for the people of Hong Kong, but I don’t think there much the West can do for them. The UK ruled Hong Kong for a 100 years and then we had to give it back to China under the deal, so there legitimately Chinese subjects… and it’s not like we’re going to send a liberation force in against a power as major China to change that, since it would start WW3.

“Out of his mind” surgeon plans human head
transplant, revival of frozen brain:


"Italian neurosurgeon Sergio Canavero will undertake the first human head transplant later
this year in China, the doctor told German magazine Ooom in an article published
Thursday. And, following that effort, he will revive a cryogenically frozen brain and
transplant it into a donor body within the next three years.

The plans, completely disconnected from reality and the state of modern medicine, are at
least in line with his previous outlandish goals and dubious animal research."

oh pls, if the UK was interested in democracy it would have allow elections in HK decades earlier. Instead of just right handing it back to China.

exactly exactly. Internal organs is ok, but external parts will bel not that aesthetically pleasing. Though technology-wise it might be effective in armies - we just need to reduce sensitivity and then we will be able to swap parts on the fly. Then again using mechanical parts should be more effective.

We should better concentrate on raising artificial humans (expect rights movement for them lol) and moving the consciousness.

I would define any temporary disconnect of consciousness in the transfer as me dying and a copy of me being born.
I would hope for a nanotechnology that gradually replaces my brain with silicon or likewise nonorganic material slowly without interruption of my conscious for a mechanical immortality.

But once that's done, if you're turned off and on again (no pun intended), do you consider that a death + a copy being born?

A certain horror scifi game dealt with that and started asking interesting questions about it.
