Hi, I'm new to this list. Sorry for coming into the conversation uninvited, but I would like to post some comments on this :) Hope you don't mind.

And does it even have to be very good? Suppose it made a sloppy copy of me that left out 90% of my memories - would it still be "me"? How much fidelity is required for Bruno's argument? I think not much.
Memories would have to be somehow stored (in neurons or whatever), so losing 10% of memories would likely mean that 10% of the brain wasn't perfectly copied. I guess even a 0.0001% error of copy would probably kill someone; for instance, a minimally modified cell may develop a lethal cancer. Sorry if I'm going off-topic and for my bad English :) João Silva --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
