I am not remotely convinced that "transplanting consciousness" is a thing that is even possible

At best we may eventually be able to copy a consciousness, but that isn't the same thing

That would make an interesting story plot. Suppose we've developed the ability to copy a consciousness. It has all your memories, all your feelings, your same sense of "self" or identity. If you die, you experience death, but the copy of your consciousness lives on, as a perfect replacement. Would that be immortality?

		I have thought about this quite a lot I don't think it is immortality. It is just cloning Any theoretical scheme that could let you exist at the same time as a clone of yourself means the clone is clearly not you. It's a different independent individual that only appears to be you
