WOULD YOU UPLOAD YOUR MIND INTO A COMPUTER?

AS FAR AS SCIENCE CAN TELL, THE BRAIN CREATES YOUR SENSE OF SELF.

- 

Cells called neurons fire in patterns that form your memories, likes, dislikes, quirks, and more. Hypothetically, if some instrument could gather enough information about the neurons in your brain, then that information could be saved in a data file. Then, perhaps, your unique network of neurons could be recreated, either in a computer simulation or in some sort of artificial body.

Some science fiction writers have imagined that brain uploads might free humans from aging, disease, and physical pain. We could potentially live forever, like immortal gods and goddesses.
