You are never the same you from one moment to next, and the mind adapts to deal with this change. So I would think the mind would adapt when downloaded into a new body. Certainly, your point stands, in that the mind downloaded into a new body would not be the same you, but I would argue that it might be enough of you to maintain the sense of you.
- libertine 6y agoMy point is that the separation of body and mind doesn't make sense in the eyes of some scientists. Like some of your memories are bound to scare tissue. Some back it by the change of personality after major trauma. Moving a mind to another body is most definitely quite a trauma (maybe the ultimate trauma?), which begs to ask the question: What's the point of moving your mind to another body, if you'll cease to exist as you are? If you lose, like you said, the "sense of you".
