Well, now the soul is no more the full information content of a system, it is 
the information in the operating system. Could say, it is the part of our 
memory that make up our personality? Something built from past experience? or 
what the filter of our physical brain can get from past experiences?

A brain reader would then scan and copy the soul (with many other things) so 
it is the first devil tool :-)

 That has nothing to do with consciousness, what is most important? To be 
conscious or have a soul as a PC?
