There are arguments which state that when you “transfer” consciousness, there is no continuity of consciousness, meaning we are at best making a copy and destroying the original. While your copy would wake up as though nothing happened, the original you gets destroyed in the process and never actually gets to enjoy the transference.
I'd much rather be a Ship-of-Theseus cyborg, replacing malfunctioning bits one at a time.
Bicentennial Man vibes.
Such a good movie, makes me want to watch it again. RIP Robin.
