Re: ""With a human, even with a liquified cortex, there is simply no way to know what she may be cognizant of." Yes, there is. Scientists believe that functions such as feeling starvation are contained within the celebral cortex. If she has no celebral cortex, then she will feel nothing. I doubt that scientists are wrong on this issue." Sure, you doubt and scientists "believe." Swell. Scientists also have evidence that memories exist through the cells of the human body, not just in the brain. Huh. And what of spirit vis-a vis cognition, anyway? What do Doctors really know? Little, admittedly, in fact, if you get down to it. Re: "If, in fact, there is a spirit within her or any of us, it is not corporeal and will feel nothing of the starvation." Now you are the authority that spirit it is not "corporeal" and will feel nothing. Can spirit have an awareness and an opinion? To the extent that a spirit might well be attached to and/or exist within an individual body, might the cell memory I referenced be key in some way, to what a spirit may be aware of? Don't even try, just realize how far into the unknowable you have already reached, and foolishly so, IMO. Frankly, the ease with which you accept the word of "authority" may well explain how you accept liberal thought so thoroughly. Dan B.
