I realize its fiction but it brings up an interesting questions about our "souls". Would they be transplanted into bodies with no souls? (My co-workers for example.) Personally speaking, one of the good parts of death is the chance for my soul to escape earthly bounds and go do the soulful stuff I have always wanted to do (float around on clouds and play the harp, etc) that I cant do while I am alive.

@Curves: You can totally play the harp while you're alive. I would highly recommend it actually. You can't say no to someone who plays the harp.

@Curves: I recommend having your soul installed into a robotic killing machine so that it is no longer a soulless killing machine and has the opportunity to love. Awwwww.

@32ndnote: Too much else on my list of stuff to learn while I am alive (#1 is learning to sail), so harping has to wait unless they make a new game called Harp Hero.

@Xeno: What makes you think I am not already a soulless killing machine that is incapable of love?

Sounds like farcical fun. However, this'll REALLY be big with people who actually believe that there's a "soul" that can be separated intact from the physical body. That counts me out.

@stryder100: I generally permit suspension of belief to undo most of my general conventions about reality, and permit it even further for things I (and presumably most everyone) really don't know much of anything about.
