I liked the bluntness of the article.  "The implications of this study have staggered ethicists, as they contemplate how this research should move forward and how it fits into the current understanding of what separates the living from the dead."  We can do this now, okay, but what does it mean?

Hopefully that upon death, they can reanimate my brain long enough to upload me to a cloud where I get to spend eternity driving monster trucks and smoking brisket.
