Scientists like to break a rose, say, down to its atomic and subatomic particles. Likewise, they view consciousness as merely impulses within the brain.

There’s certainly no disagreement about the benefits of more reasonable...
...historian, Hyman’s presence in Mass. Hall will be a great boon to Faust’s early tenure.

...Walter Reed shouldn't be punished for extending its top-notch medical services to soldiers longer than military hospitals have in past conflicts. A leading center for amputations and brain injury, it has achieved amazing breakthroughs and revived function and hope for soldiers who would have died in past conflicts...
