Overgeeked,

I suppose that's a good point. Still, if the technology existed to be able to "read a person's mind", it could be used for other applications. It would almost certainly end up as an interrogation tool for law enforcement.

What is worse? Being kept alive and water boarded for information, or having your mind scanned into as computer and taken out back and shot because they have all the information you had.

My predominant worry about this is that it would be used for law enforcement functions on american citizens...

Tharpdevenport,

A kitchen knife can't be used to control my brain, nor is it in the hands of the government.

Good point

Jsut because something is invented, it doesn't mean we need it or have to embrace it.

A lot of people don't seem to realize this... Some things, of course, should be embraced, others should not be

There isn't a need for everything that comes down the mental pooper.

That's correct
