Love the body and mind?

Suppose you're in love with someone. That's someone who you consider your soul mate, want to spend the rest of your life, someone you'd die for, etc...all the cheesy stuff.

Then one day she dies in a horrible accident saving your life.

But for some unexplainable reasons (who cares), her mind gets transplanted in the body of a brain dead man.

Could you possibly still love her?

Re: Love the body and mind?

As far as I'm concerned it is the body that initially attracts you and you fall in love with, but it's the mind that keeps the love alive. So to answer your question, yes, I could still be in love with "her", put I'd be unable to make love to "her" and it is the constant reinforcing of the love through physical intimacy that keeps the love strong. This may, on the surface, seem a contradiction, but after you been married twenty years you'll understand it.

Re: Love the body and mind?

love is emotional.

lust is attraction of/to a body.

there's many forms of love:

1. love for country
2. love for ideals
3. love between a man and a woman (sexual/"marriage", or non-sexual)
4. love between a man and a man
5. love between a woman and a woman
6. love between a parent and a child (INdependant of genes/biology)
6. love between friends
7. love between humans and "pets" (non-humans)
8. love for children (as in u care about them, NOT sick-criminal pedophilia)
9. love for humans/"strangers" (compassion. helping any person. like charity work and the poor or starving or etc...)
10. love between blood/family/siblings/relatives
11. etc...

as u can see, LOVE has NOTHING to do with the physical attraction between hot bodies; sex.

lust does

love is NOT sex. sex can be a part of many displays of love. but, sex by itself, is not love. it's the emotion that makes love real and exists.

unfortunately most of human society (on any place on earth) thinks sex and love are one and the same. they are not.

Re: Love the body and mind?

though that's still lust....it's not really (true) love.

laughs.....

depends if it's taboo (sex with sleeping person. sex with some one in coma. sex with a dead person. they are all kinda the same thing to me. could be illegal due to taboo).

then there's the consent issue to. obviously she in coma and can't give consent or say no. but than again don't u get married to have kids and conventionally that means sex. so if u get married isn't that consent as well ?

Marriage is not the same as wanting sex at all time. It's not so that you HAVE to have it just because you're married. Unless you're incredibly oldfashioned of course, and only using marriage as an excuse to "get any" whenever you want.

What if she signed a consent form before she went into a coma. Would the staff still allow it. I'm thinking no.

Depends on the country you are in, until fairly recently hardly any countries recognized marital rape as a crime (The US, for example, only made it illegal in all 50 states in 1993). If your country has a 'marriage' exemption from rape then you can legally have sex with/rape your wife whenever you want.

If she signed a consent form then things might be different, but I reckon anybody who wanted to make use of the consent they have been given would probably have to go through the courts.

if you're old fashioned and a romantic like me, than u only "get some" (have sex) when u want a kid (or another or more kids) and it's preferred that u marry first, though this rarely happens even with most old fashioned and romantic people. sex is NOT "recreational" for us old fashioned and romantic people. though during the time when u (well her-wife) can't make another/more babies, that's the exception and u try to take full advantage of it to the extent that she let's/allows/wants u to :D

No - I may not be what you call "old-fashioned romance" - and I'm very happy I'm not - but I can do old-fashioned spelling, readable English with capitals and punctuation marks, so people don't have to halfguess what I'm on about. :tongue:

Consent is something that does not exist until it is given; it's not something that exists until specifically denied. So it's rape, except in those places of the world where sex with his wife is considered a man's legal right (like the UK, 50ish years ago).

HegemonKhan, you are not a romantic.

You do realise that, other than brief periods of social/religious puritanism, procreation only sex has never been apart of the human condition. Don't you?

The problem with this scenario is that in order for her mind to be in the body of another person, that person's brain structures would need to change to match those of the woman. So the man's brain would have to transform into the woman's brain. Next problem: androgens produced in the man's testes and adrenal glands would begin making changes to her personality, as hormones have effects on the brain.

Another problem: you say the man is brain dead. So not only are we dealing with a man's body housing your soul mate's mind, but that man is clinically brain dead so he can't move, talk, learn, percieve, or acknowledge anything. So what's the point? The woman's mind may as well have entered a piece of moldy cheese. So you are asking if we could still love her, even though she is now a piece of cheese in the refrigorator.

Isn't this like thinking she has gone to a different place (Heaven/other body/whatever) and we still love her even though she is not physically with us anymore?

Can you rewrite the question please?
