Having gone “in circulos suos”.

Abstract

This author's work briefly summarizes the basic currently available world experience on memory transplantation.
In the middle of last century an American psychologist James McConnell took interest in planarians - little flatworms inhabiting water coastlines. It was found out that they are educable: thanks to ganglions (particular accumulations of cells in the peripheral nervous system) can adopt unpretentious defensive reflexes for short period of time. McConnell was able “to explain” to some especially talented individuals that they had to crawl away from bright light, otherwise would get an electric shock. Well and as soon as they mastered it, he cut them in two parts. In one month, every half gave life to a daughterly planarian which was reacting on light much quicker. And moreover, take notice that both original halves were doing it; i.e. every tail remembered almost the same as a head with ganglion - and was transferring this knowledge to his new head!
After that another series of alike experiments followed which was carried out by a staff of the Institute of Biophysics (from the metropolitan faubourg Pushchino): a group of young researchers under Inna Sheyman’s guidance was trying to introduce slices of taught worms into the tissue of neighboring untrained fellows. And, as a result, it was discovered that even such tiny bits not only survive safely, but also pass previous knowledge to their newfound owners.
«Well and if we jump even higher, i.e. perform similar experiments with chickens, ostriches or, say, laboratory mices?» – that is what leading specialists of NAMS of Ukraine (together with collegues from Institute for Scientific Prognoses) have set themselves as an inquisitive noble aim. And indeed they took a chance, having started by laying poultry and then successfully gone to small mammalians; moreover along the way comprehensively having analyzed too the problem of unlimited healthy longevity, which is no less topical for everyone.

Keywords: Memory transfer, unlimited healthy longevity, law of exponential growth of rejuvenation costs, existential memory, bridging the chasm between life and death
