A new brain is constructed over time such that after months almost none of the matter in the original brain remains in your body. The old brain is used as a template, and only a rough template at that. So there is no theoretical obstacle to transferring your mind from one collection of matter to another. The question is whether the mind can be replicated in a different substrate. This has been discussed here before and I think the answer is clearly (though not intuitively) yes, provided that the new substrate is able to replicate the 3p observable behaviour of the brain. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
