Today your brain is inextricably linked to your body, and your body is a very poor vehicle for it. The problems are myriad, ranging from simple things like body odor and restroom breaks, to serious issues like cancer. If you get cancer at age 30 and the malignancy takes your life, your body is the worst kind of trap - your perfectly healthy brain dies when the disease kills your body. Any kind of serious accident - everything from falling down the steps to a car crash - has the same deadly effect on your brain. There is an alternative on the horizon, in the form of Vertabrane and then complete disembodiment. In his book "The Day You Discard Your Body", Marshall Brain skillfully guides you through the steps that will lead you to gladly discard the frail human body that your brain inhabits today.MARSHALL BRAIN is best known as the founder of HowStuffWorks.com.
