thats why if I ever get the money Im freezing my brain before I die with a crionics company, cause it will be a while before we can avoid that fate its our only real shot... unless mind uploading happens very very soon.. when I wake up in the future it doesn't matter to me if its in a new cloned body from my dna, or a completely different body or a semi-synthetic one.. I don't really want my information lost..

but assuming ischemic damage is too much to retain anything and im thus brought back with no memory -even though that means I technical didn't come back since I view me as a collection of my memories and my consciousness and its continuity, yea that doesn't seem quite as horrible as if someone simply copied my brain and uploaded it else were cause that construct who remembers everything and feels like its me is not me at all no more then the original brain being brought back with a blank slate in memory.. but it just doesn't seem quite as horrible to me.. Yea If I get brought back I don't want it to be from some COPY PAST bs... no I WANT CUT AND PAST.. as in taking all the original data and putting it into another body or construct.. not copying it and discarding/destroying the original then uploading it. It would feel worse the idea that someone with all my memories who thinks its me is alive while I died, then it would be to me to think of all my memories being wiped.. if that makes any sense at all.. My sense of self is my memories but also my original consciousness and its continuity..

so yea that said Id prefer it if they put my brain in a new body after thawing it and doing the work to boot it back up.. or a cloned body from my dna or into a machine or semi-synthetic sort of thing.. but NOT COPYING AND PASTING... CUT AND PAST ONLY.. preferably by keeping the original brain intact or augmenting it as necessary to make up for biological damage.. as long as at the bare minimum my original consciousness comes back weather or not it remembers its self..
