One version of the urban legends

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The urban legends are sometimes fascinating, sometimes funny and sometimes they are little weird. In the one urban legend what was connected to the academic world was one professor, who wanted to live forever. In those stories that are told peer to peer inside the students the scientists are always the professors, so let's tell this story that way, that some scientist wanted to live forever.

So this professor was made the copy about himself. This means that this professor was just sucked the cells DNA out from the nucleus and replaced that from his own DNA. And then the professor was thinking that he will get little forward to other students by transferring his own EEG to the brains of that child.

Recording the EEG waves or electric functions of the brains is not very difficult, and only thing what the professor will need is the EEG-machine, what normally use is to collect the data from the electric functions from the brains. Then those electric signals must be recorded to the C-cassette or hard drives of the computer. And then those brainwaves must be driven to the target person brains, with the electric shock machine.

This therapy is called the brain core stimulation. The problem of that stimulation is the human brains can't separate the real experience from the experience that will put in there with electric shock equipment. And even if that system would be the very fascinated thing, when somebody wants to teach something to other people, the risks of this kind of tests are very dangerous, because human brains are very complicated. In some versions of this legend, the cassette has been changed to some terrible thing.

And if something goes wrong, that test would be damaged the mind or the soul of that person. In one very special legend, some persons from the Soviet intelligence stole the neurons of Albert Einstein and after cloned this spectacular man taught the methods of the Soviet way of thinking to that child. Those rumors are of course very interesting, but the same way very frightening thing, what the biotechnology can give to the human race.
