Study: Low-Level Electricity Helps Improve Game Performance

Why is it that transhumanists are regarded as stupid?  They often advance the field of science or save their own life.

• On February 15, 1921, Dr. Evan O'Neill Kane carried out his own appendectomy in an attempt to prove the efficacy of local anaesthesia for such operations. He is believed to have been the first surgeon to have done so.^[4] In 1932, he performed an even more risky self-operation of repairing his inguinal hernia at the age of 70.^[5]

• On April 30, 1961, Dr. Leonid Rogozov removed his own infected appendix at the Soviet Novolazarevskaja Research Station in Antarctica, as he was the only physician on staff. The operation lasted one hour and 45 minutes.^[6][7] Rogozov later reported on the surgery in the Information Bulletin of the Soviet Antarctic Expedition.^[8]

In 2000, a Mexican woman, Inés Ramírez, was forced to resort to self-surgery – a Caesarean section – because of lack of medical assistance during a difficult labour: "She took three small glasses of hard liquor and, using a kitchen knife, sliced her abdomen in 3 attempts ... cut the uterus itself longitudinally, and delivered a male infant. Both mother and child reportedly survived and are now well."

After failed attempts to infect piglets in 1984, Marshall drank a Petri dish containing cultured H. pylori, expecting to develop, perhaps years later, an ulcer. He was surprised when, only five days later, he developed gastritis with achlorhydria, i.e., his vomitus had no acid content. Symptoms included vague stomach discomfort, nausea, vomiting and halitosis (due to the achlorhydia, there was no acid to kill bacteria in the stomach, and their waste products manifested as bad breath).

Is modifying your body dangerous? YES very but the risks CAN be mitigated with enough education and preperation.  When your life is on the line you tend not to to cut corners.  These people are pioneers not morons.
