Disagree. In this idea there is a nearly universal assumption of "uploading" the mind in question, and therefore the disposal of the original sheath. So on a purely pragmatic level, the continued existence of the extracted mind is a lot less easy to verify, being that it no longer has an autonomous physical body.
Anyway, you have to admit it would make good science fiction.
- strudey 15y ago"Learning to be me" by Greg Egan is a short story that covers this very ground, it's good.
- jamesaguilar 15y agoAltered Carbon also treats this subject in pretty good depth. A little more pulpy than I imagine Egan's writing to be, but still fun. Thanks for the pointer!
- strudey 15y agoOh really, might read that. I read Black Man and enjoyed it. (possibly called something else if you're in the US, by the same author as Altered Carbon)
