Imagine being able to transfer ourselves into the other person's body.

This evolutionary feature, an exchange of our bodies based on mutual agreement ofcourse, would lead to a stable and more cooperative society.

Yes- This would enable us to know the viewpoints of the other and what he is going through, by living in his shoes. 

No- What a stupid idea!

Yes

You would only be able to change bodies, not minds. You still wouldn't be able to see a person's thought process or why they think that way based on their previous experience. But you could at least get to understand what having boobies feel like ;)

LOL.

Well, you will be able to have your own thought process based on the situation... which exactly is the point.... the point is to be able to understand what the other person is going through by being in his shoes...

Side: Yes

But people here already try to explain their thought process to others and the others just want to smack him. Would you be able to smack the person for having a flawed thought process ;)

The body and physical processes of that individual's brain would be impossible to assign to a separate consciousness than their own.

Side: No

Sure it'd be great but for society to evolve that far we'd have to start being more cooperative in the 1st place. You said based off of mutuality or something similar right? Well if you're in a disagreement with someone would you really want to let them hold your body?

What if a person is suicidal and they convince you to go through with it, then they kill themselves as you?

What if they can't handle your depression, and thus kill themselves?

There is too much responsibility to let someone hold my car, for all the trouble that could be caused, so I say no thank you to letting someone hold my body. Spouse, mother, or otherwise.

Side: No

In case of disagreement ofcourse this swapping will not happen. If you don't want anyone to hold your body, fair enough, don't. We have free will, no matter what.... But many people want to, for a short duration......There are pros and cons, i agree... like a student giving an exam exchanging himself with an adult and passing the exam!.... still I like the idea..

Side: Yes
