>What does "disembodied" mean here? Whatever you use to emulate a human brain is going to have a physical substrate and support system (body). It may be differently bodied, but its not going to be disembodied.

If we surgically implanted a human head on a cow it would be "differently bodied" too, but it's obviously not what the parent means.

The casual use of "physical substrate and support system" as if it means the very specific "body" parent talks about, which is obviously the human body the simulated brain originated in, is bizarro.

A PC box won't cut it as "body".
