Now, the question, of questions. Can our minds/personality which produces
ideas, transcends our tissue and bones? Since, we are speaking science here,
and science is concerned with explaining "How" things work, exist, we will need
to answer How?
Locally. Relatively. Yes. Like this post depends on my computer's body right
now. I agree.
"Globally", or theologically, it is more complex. Bodies, like orbitals, are
map of accessible consistent extensions, and things are rich and complex,
especially if you are open to the idea of conscious universal person, perhaps
related to the universal numbers, or the Löbian one.
Platonists believes in truth, beauty, justice, ... and computationalist knows
that those are like real family, full of tension and contradictions, which in a
sense makes them alive, and almost recognizable from lives to lives.
Our bodies can be the vehicle of ideas which transcends them.

Our bodies are both, I would say. But we are not our bodies, we are our
values, ideas, memories, etc.
But evolution implies that those are not independent of our bodies.
