So here's robomoon's brain which should be called the RoHuBrain (Robomoon's 
Human Brain). It's actually my human brain inside my own head. Yet, it's 
welcoming various sorts of uploading. With this it would be great to lead a 
healthy life so that it takes many decades before my body ceases being alive. 
Then the body might be a corpse legalized by a death certificate and not a 
person. So it's not supposed to become the same person again anyways.


It would be great to create an artificial RoMoBrain (RoboMoon's brain). If the 
RoHuBrain wouldn't end up in an urn despite of cryonics organizations being 
actually not ready to sign me up with the limited funding I've offered, it might
be suspended. When it's so lucky, neuronal structure from the RoHuBrain will be
copied, otherwise my DNA and mindfiles should be preferred.


The organization responsible for uploading should copy much data from 
RoHuBrain's neuronal outline supposed being in connection with my longterm 
memory. The data should be copied from the RoHuBrain into the RoMoBrain. The 
body for the RoMoBrain could be a robot or a cybercreature, whatever. That body 
should be called robomoon, like me, animated with lots of AI, of cause. If I 
wouldn't remember myself the way I hoped before, that's the risk I'm willing to 
take.


If people don't decide whether the body with the RoMoBrain will be the same or 
not be me, that's fine. If I'm not being the chosen surviver as a biological 
human, that's fine too. If the body with the RoMoBrain wouldn't be a person 
despite of an eventually changing definition of that word, why not? Will a 
person only be a human, so what? Will there never be an autonomous robomoon good
enough to deserve legal rights being fairly applicable like those of an 
incorporated firm or a large business corporation, for instance?
