I think it's not really interesting if you disagree with an article simply by using a different understanding of the same words.

1. "Body" in the paragraph means "the rest of the body, excluding the brain". It is not used to mean, "the entire body, including the brain".

2. This is incorrect. The acquisition of matter is not always called eating. I'm not talking about drinking—we can group that with eating—but there are alternative ways to acquire nutrients and there are also other ways to acquire matter that do not involve nutrients. Having a nutrient IV would not involve eating, and if you got a good source of nutrients this way, it would bypass many of the biological problems involving nutrient absorption through the GI tract. Problems with nutrient absorption in the GI tract account for a worrying number of health problems in older individuals. (You can also attach matter to your body with surgery.)

How is the brain not a body? Brain is certainly not mind, neither consciousness. Why not replace it too then? Is it because he has enough imagination to think replacing heart is possible, but replacing brain isn't without losing consciousness?

As for eating, he clearly stated what he meant - power brain through electricity. Shows complete lack of basic understanding of body functions, of which brain is part of. He believes that brain is powered by electricity. Good example of this whole article - fantasy without any deeper thoughts of why things are the way they are.
