    Also, bionic brains is not the same as transferring a brain to a computer. You’re faced with the exact same problem of whether the original consciousness dies and a new one is created if you try to move it out of the artificial brain you created. Uploading a file still leaves the original.

      I’m not talking about a bionic brain. I’m saying that you can start integrating artificial parts into a live brain and overtime convert the brain to an artificial one. You’re not faced with the exact same problem because you can turn off biological parts as artificial ones take over without disruption to consciousness. The file copying analogy doesn’t really work here.
