So in Ghost in the Shell, how is it possible for doctors to remove someone's brain, encase it in metal, and then put it back in without the patient dying?
More importantly, how is it possible that 99% of the population has this? It would seem like a pretty major surgery.
It isn't, it's fiction
Most of the population just have cyber brains. Which is like having a smartphone jammed in your skull.
I'm more interested in how they reconnect everything.

I dont get how people manage to be this retarded
what? are you saying it's fake? it links to:

fuck you
Brain doesn't die if you disconnect it from the body, provided there's no neural shock from severing the spine and you're supplying it with blood and oxygen.And you can see tubes coming out of the extracted robobrain or whatever.
Most of the population don't have those, they have augmented brains = implants.
Only full cyborgs have this kind of cyber brain and those are rare and expensive.
reeeeee
Nanomachines, son
Also the brain can rewire itself.
what's the point of even discussing anything from any fiction if the answer to any and everything is "it's fiction, that's why"? Might as well delete Yea Forums, nothing left to discuss.
By building a temporary removable container inside the skull?
>why is thing like this in fiction that wouldnt happen in real life i dont understand
You do know that the brain is an organ right?
You could trivially separate the brain and body if you made sure the body still got the messages it needs to maintain itself and the brain got the supplies it typically got from the body.
Once you've made that separation, forming an interface to reconnect those two systems is trivial enough.
Also; it's not common: Most of the population has a glorified com-link in their heads.
>forming an interface to reconnect those two systems is trivial enough.
That's actually what current science and medtech is struggling with.
Not a fan of any science fiction, I take it?
IIRC the ones with those kinds of removable brains are all cyborgs meaning they have synthetic bodies. Most of them being some sort of government official or employee. Rather than 99% of the population having it it's more like 1%. The common thing is brain augmentation but not the 'remove the brain' kind.
And how would that happen? removing the entire skull and replacing it?
Yes, that's how it works for full cybors in GItS. They don't get to keep mushi bits of their face and skull, it's all replaced.
Basically container brain is only a thing for full cybords and only organic thing is them is their brain and probably blood, maybe some rudimentary digestive system.
You're not supposed to question "hard sci-fi".
Wait, isn't the body artificial as well?
not for most people
