When you transfer your human brain over into a machine brain, are you the same person or a clone of yourself?
Philosophical questions and debates may occur when converting a human brain over into a machine brain. It may be possible to take a human brain and convert it into one machine brain, then take the machine brain to make as many clone brains as you want. Who is you and who is who?
Some will speculate the brain is your brain if the original ceases to exist. However, at the moment of transfer, the machine brain has its own set of experiences when compared to its human version or any other brain. Brain transfers could occur to the machine brain and the machine could be put into stasis. However, the human brain would evolve over time and create differences with the machine brain. In the case of brain disease, having a copy of the brain when it was healthy is desired. Maybe it will be possible to replicate a diseased brain and repair the machine version. It might be a good idea to have two of you as two machines. You can work together with your twin self. Your twin self could easily be put to hibernation ahead of time in the event that something catastrophic happens to you. As twins, you can do double the work in half the time. But who is who? Is the consciousness the same?
