If you slowly replaced each part of your brain with parts of a robotic brain until your brain was 100% artificial, then hooked up the brain to a electronic body or PC, would it still be your conciousness?

No.  The minute your brain when 100% artificial your gone.

Explain...

 

It's like a computer.  You can keep upgrading your old comptuer... however the minute you got rid of the last part of your computer, your computer is no longer that old one you used to work on.

 

The brain is like a computer... if the ram blows out you can replace it... etc etc....

but once you got to a point of where you've replaced every part of your brain... it's not your old brain and aren't thereanymore, but a new ones.

I could probably actually point to a specific part of the brain that once gone would kill you rather then just basically 100%... but honsetly anatomical psychology was what held back my GPA in college.

So hard to memorize all the little parts of a brain... espeically in a shortened summer session.

 

Edit: Insular Cortex!  Once you lost your Insular Cortex you would no longer be you.  The insular cortex is what creates your consiousness.
