I firmly believe that the brain is a form of quantum computing. I also believe that moving the consciousness from a 90yo close to death to a cloned body containing a newly grown brain or then later on a silicon based one will be possible in the future.
The best TV show that encapsulated this was Travellers[0]. A damn good show which was cancelled just when things were getting interesting.
I would say it's possible by entangling the particles from the source brain to the recipient one. Once completed the original source is destroyed, so it's effectively a move and not a copy.
There's also the 6th day movie [1]. Imagine being able to spin up multiple copies of yourself and 100x your own output? I believe that will also be possible in the future. Probably outlawed due to lots of ethical reasons. But... I'd like to think why not? Me[1] lives on earth. Me[2] lives in Mars, Me[3] lives on a moon in the asteroid belt. Me[4] is currently navigating out of the solar system. Since all the brains are entangled. I'd know everything in an instant.
How do deal with that is another story. Unless I'm AI at that point, which means the collective are all just a bunch of VMs anyway :P

- Engineering-MD 7y agoCan you expand on your entanglement idea? I’m not sure how it would work. You could enable particles without connecting neural systems functionally (although I’m not sure we can show qualia/consciousness is actually located). The issue of course is that due to the nature of subjective experience it cannot be empirically tested.
