Without a brain, I'd be a lifeless body. But, its also true that the brain needs a body to live in. However, its much more probable for a brain to live outside a body than a body living without a brain. Given that, It seems the body is just a puppet that gets pulled by the brain. so, Humans are kind of biological robots with a small controller on the inside. Its as if the human race is a bunch of avatars walking around. I believe "Mind over Matter" to a good degree. I await the day someone figures out to control all his body functions, adrenaline, blood flow, lactic acid, etc. The closet thing I can currently think of is Navy seals. They are very capable of control in various stressful situations.
anyway, I don't know what I wanted the point of this to be, but felt like sharing my current thoughts

You'd be correct in your linking "Body without a mind" to zombies, as that is, in a philosophical sense at least, what a zombie is.
Shit gets weird when you look at the possibility that you very well may be the only person with a mind in the entire universe. What if everyone you know isn't real? What if they're just zombies, non-sentient beings that move and have a nearly infinite If-Then list of reactions to events.
If stabbed with pin, then shout in pain, type scenario's.
