There was a science fiction story about this. Everyone is implanted with a parallel electronic brain that grows with them over time. They're supposed to think exactly the same. A girl realizes she's thinking two different thoughts and thinks the one with more "bad" thoughts is the electronic one, so she'll die when they kill the organic brain. Then her time comes and the "her" that was worrying is still alive. i.e. they killed he organic brain, leaving the more socially accepted one alive. It's really subtle and deep in its philosophical implications. |
