Aab22-007	Not alive, but not dead: disembodied human brains used for drug testing
	Quote:	NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUTJust a day ago, the brain was in a living person. Now, hours after its owner died, it sits on a cart draped in tubes that quiver as they pump liters of blood substitute and other fluids through the organ, supplying oxygen and removing waste. With most of its key functions intact but its electrical activity quenched by anesthesia, the brain hovers between life and death. As it metabolizes experimental drugs, sensors record its reactions, capturing hundreds of data points on its cells, proteins, and physiology. Then, after 24 hours in this state, it will be sliced into hundreds of pieces for more detailed study.
	Comment:	Is this ethical? If a brain is still firing, is it not thinking? Is it not still alive? Nos it not stil lhave some Human Rights???
