What does /sci/ think about an artificial digestive system?
Replacing most of the human system with an artificial one that requires already broken down nutrition pills and removes all hunger signals to the brain.
Awful idea. I like eating and pooping and I won't let anyone take that away from me.

I'd love it, I eat too much to handle stress. This would significantly save my time and help rid me of my grotesque addiction
Would only ingesting water-soluble food molecules that the body uses make pooping obsolete? Is there any biological reason to keep pooping if a person only ingests highly curated food molecules?

This is what I want so bad.

hunger is more than signals to the brain.

I feel that your brain would sense the sudden loss of your entire enteric nervous system and you'd feel a constant sense of dread or something like that.

Not all of the solid waste that comes out of your body is from digested food. Some of it is from cells that die within your body.

So there is this thing called total parenteral nutrition where you feed people intravenously.
It's not pleasant. There is a risk of blood clots and infections. In addition patients still report being hungry.
Even if you removed the GI tract you'd still have this problem as the brain use signals from the mouth and nose to determine hunger.
