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. |
What if nanobots slowly transformed your whole body into electronics and metal instead of flesh and bone, but still with the same structure as a human, would you still retain your original conciousness, since it's still he same brain and brain structure but with different materials?
