I should point out that I meant it in the event that my synapses could be replaced piece by piece, but that whatever replaced them should have the same functions, and memories stored.Originally posted by RGX@11 August 2004 - 14:11
Your memories are part of you I guess Snny, they enable you to make decisions based on past experience....if you were missing some of them who knows what it would do to your personality...
Naturally, I wouldn't much like having my memories erased in the process.

Anyone else wanna have a go at this discussion?
For those you can't be bothered to read through all of it...
The original question treated the following hypothetical scenario...
If you had a harddrive implanted inside you that recorded your mind and memories, would you still be you if this hardrive was used to create a new copy of you?
If not, would it be different if you had had it inside you since before you became self-aware?
And lastly, would you want to do it regardless, if you were dying?
Opinions have ranged from people accepting the copy as themselves, and that the copied you would still be you, to someone saying that it might well be that your entire body is a part of your conciousness, and that you could neither switch your body for a new one, nor your mind.
Other issues that have come up throughout the discussion are:
...If you could travel through teleportation as featured in the sci-fi novel ilium, and in Star Trek, would you consider the person that emerged at the other end to still be you or just a copy?
...If we have souls, or some other metahysical connection to another plane, will they carry over into the copy?
...Is it correct to compare the brain to a hard-drive at all, would it not be more comparable to a biological form of RAM?
And the very burning issues of what Air Wolf in fact was, and why does Tinky Winky Carry a Hand Bag, as he is a bloke?

I believe you've solved that part of the discussion very well, well done dan.
Was it just me, or did that helicopter move in ways it shouldn't have been able to, according to the laws of physics?
