...have shown worry that Smith's witty dialogue might be at risk with all the action in the film, and there is a perceptible difference.

Whole-brain transplants are still science fiction. "I never like to say that something's impossible," says Dr. Evan Snyder, a neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital in Boston.
