I want to live! I don't care if I'm in this ugly, pimply mad-science body! If I'm the wrong gender, I'll be a trannie if it upsets me so much! I'd rather live ugly then die! Who would? Life doesn't suck if you have the exciting pleasure of meeting a real mad scientist after all! Side: Scientist Brain/Your Body

Is the soul immutable separate from the body. Or do you feel that the soul is your brain? Side: Answer the bloody question
