Scientists just preserved a pig’s brain to reanimate it – should they have?

Death is the one guarantee in this world. Ask Borys Wróbel, though, and it’s just the beginning.

Wróbel is the chief scientist at Nectome, a Portland-based start-up that is looking into ways to preserve the human brain and body.

Together with Aurelia Song and Anna LaVergne, Wróbel came one step closer to this goal last month by managing to preserve a pig’s body and brain.

This could pave the way for uploading humans brains to computers – one day, Wróbel tells Metro.

‘It’s a huge loss to us as humanity to be losing the experience of people every day,’ he says.
