	Can't scientist deduce some of this stuff without spending money on experiments like this? ____________________

	Neuroscience is one of the weakest fields right now. Do you really want to leave brain surgery down to "well, this seems to make sense, but we haven't done any experiments..."?

	The thing for them to do now is for them to discover how the brain handles past memories, or thoughts. That could help with a lot of things, like certain brain diseases.

Ahhhh...I don't really agree with psychology in that sense too much just yet. I'm more of a philosopher when it comes to thinking what a human does or doesn't do...just for the sheer fact that I don't think we're that smart to know a 'if you stimulate this part of the brain like so in a 22nm area then you have this heightened emotion and awareness and wisdom and' blaaahhhhh... Next thing you know, it'll lead to biochips being added in your brain for a whole army of super-humans. Just you watch. ____________________

	That's like suggesting that people shouldn't invent fire because it could be used to burn down your village (never mind that it would also allow people to survive in the cold, cook food to kill all the microorganisms in it, and distill water).
