I hope so. With neuralink it seems possible but there is probably a limit to what it can do. I'm not sure.Definitely, but we are probably two decades away from this.
The question really will be that will humanity do with this and will they be able to do with mental health issues, will they be able to fix them?
I want my body to die off but I might want my consciousness alive to be with my husband. I'm not sure. It also sounds like a fucking nightmare like the black mirror episode where they put the person in the teddy bear and the wife was Forced to watch her husband and child go about their lives.Well they do say the last person to die of old age is already alive today.
I think dying and old age will be very different over the next 20 to 30 years given the rapid advances now.
It will be even more complicated if they can digitalise our consciousness.
Thank you. The first one was interesting. But I don't, respectfully want to read anything on Quora.Highly doubtful. Even representing the basic physical state of a piece of mouse brain about the size of a grain of sand pushes current technology to the limit (petabytes of data generated from 100 million images taken from the tissue sample).
And even if it were possible it's not you. It's a copy or clone of your consciousness. A replica taken at the time of the copy. You would still cease to perceive at the point your original biological brain dies. Transfering consciousness the way it happens in movies is sci-fi magic. There's no plausible way it could happen from our current understanding of consciousness and how it emerges from the biological processes in the brain.

Answer (1 of 199): It is technically possible. Here's why: Your consciousness is the result of biological activity in your brain. The cells in your brain do a lot of complex things, and one of those things is work together to produce your complete experience of the world. Consciousness is like ...www.quora.com
Fair. To be honest most of the answers on there aren't very helpful as they avoid the part of the question that reads "without creating two selves". I thought the other article was quite insightful and thorough.Thank you. The first one was interesting. But I don't, respectfully want to read anything on Quora.
