[quote:Anonymous Coward 440442:MV8xMjc3NTM3XzIwODY0MzcwX0E0QzY3NTE1] Quote from website... Is an upload still a person? Even if we assume that an upload is alive, it may be argued that it's not really a person -- because it was created by humans, or because it doesn't consist of biological tissue. Since special rights are often attributed to persons, this in an important question. The general consensus on the net seems to be that uploads are just as human (i.e., "persons") as biological humans. Indeed, this seems so obvious to most people that the issue has received very little discussion. Still, from a philosophical standpoint it deserves more attention. End of quote... It would really deserve more attention! Where is my soul or my spirit or my conscious ?? What's with emotions and feelings ??? I would not like to leave the sum of my personal experiences to play around on a computer... I do not believe it would be me at all... [/quote]
Original Message
Ian Pearson is a British futurist, cybernetic expert and artificial intelligence researcher.
Some experts say downloading all recorded memories from a brain will be happening before 2020.
If this is being talked about in Public Field it's probably already active underground, don't you think? Because the Mil. is usually at least 40 years ahead of the curve.
Has anyone seen Caprica or Battlestar Galactica?
Caprica is the beginning of the Cylons. They are created the exact same way, by downloading all the memories of an individual into a computer that then turns the memories into an Avatar. This creates a spark of life and turns the Cylons into living beings.
The Digital Immortality Institue (DII) is researching this now.
Anders Sandberg a member of the new transhuman movement (Beyond Human), believes uploading minds and downloading them into new bodies is imminent.
So Cloned bodies with Artificial Intelligence = New Human / Super Human.
This is some incredible technology really. Think about it, cloned bodies with immunities to almost everything, no defects, then downloaded memories combined with new memories / software. The new brain would have a direct connection to the BORG via Wifi.
Another Transhumanist, Al Yudkowky is convinced this technology must be developed befofre a group or gov. with evil intentions does it first.
Do you guys think this is a good idea?
