X-Message-Number: 32512 Date: Sat, 27 Mar 2010 14:39:21 +0100 (CET) From: Subject: Re: CryoNet #32511 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? > Message #32511 > From: > Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 11:49:48 EDT > Subject: identity & value > > I don't know why my format is coming through so distorted, > with gaps and blurs. > > > Jordan asks, "Why do you deny that the exact copy > constructed out of organic molecules would not have > the same value and importance as the original?
