IMHO, the body, the psyche and the soul can't be separated like that. A body without a soul is a cadaver. The soul is whatever makes the body not a cadaver. The psyche appears from the interaction of the body and the soul. So, in question 1, the teleportation kill you 100%. In question 2, unsure but both choices is probably equaly deadly. And question 3 is pure fantasy because you can't have a living body without a soul.

  Yikes. You took the thread way into religious flamewar here. That's not cool, and we ban accounts that do it, so please don't do it again. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for. Personal attacks will also get you banned, so please don't do that again either. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.

    I think it was completely in context. The original submittal had religious questions, the comment I responded to, had religious reasoning to those questions. If I'm not allowed to respond, then just don't allow submittals of any kind that contain a religious overtone. But I think that will become more and more difficult as AI continues to progress and there are more posts allowed to discuss the nature of mind, 'self' and 'consciousness' and what is 'sentient'. These questions beg religious responses in a lot of people. I did read the guidelines, and the recent "No vehicles in the park" post, and understand the difficulties of parsing language. You are in a difficult position. I tend to think linking religious beliefs with terrorism is a common argument, not controversial at all, so it seemed a reasonable response. My error was in calling him 'deluded', that is personal and un-called for. Instead of 'You are deluded', I could have said "such beliefs are delusional", or "such beliefs indicate a lack of self awareness".

      You can't post things like "But you are so deluded it is scary. These kind of extreme beliefs is what drives terrorist." That's unambiguous personal attack and we ban accounts that post this way. It wouldn't be ok to say "such beliefs are delusional" or "such beliefs indicate a lack of self awareness" instead - that's still personal attack.

At what point is replacing the self, no longer self? Hippocampal prosthesis already exist, dealing with memory encoding.

Could it not be possible that the teleportation also teleports/duplicates the soul?
