> W.B. Yeats describes mankind's fleshly predicament as a soul fastened to a dying animal.
This is an old, tired, dualist judeo-christian view. And it's totally false; there isn't any thing called "soul" that could be separated from the body. It's part of it, a secretion of sort of the whole brain and body.
Even a real brain kept in a bottle wouldn't properly behave like a real human, IMO. This is all quite ridiculous, really.
