Not necessarily metaphysical - I get a feeling a lot of these discussions treat brain and body as separate entities and the reasoning reduces to the same as metaphysical ghost in the machine - brain in the machine.
If we ever get to that point you're almost a completely different entity from the person you were in your body, you could share some of the memories and logic but even your perception on them would change drastically along with your self image changes.
- bigtunacan 9y agoSince it is "my brain", I would think that I would have all of my memories which is largely what makes up me. I really don't see how then I would be a completely different entity. It would just be me, but in a better body in my case. As someone who suffers from a degenerative disease that causes chronic pain which only continues to get worse over time I would welcome transplanting my brain into an android-like body where I could continue to live, albeit without the suffering.
