On the basis of my beliefs, I will always say no to the doctor
because I am looking forward to my death
which is just my release from my physical bondage.
It seems to me that CTM predicts that possibility.
Yes.
If you survive with an artificial digital brain, then you survive no
matter what, which might be as much terrifying than wishful thinking,
especially that we don't know who we are, and the math get quickly
*quite* complex. It even depends in part on what you are ready to
identify with.
People will not accept artificial brain to be immortal, but just to
see the next soccer cup, or the anniversary birthday of the grand-
grand-grand-daughter or something.
Most people usually feel no hurry for the Nirvana, and most might want
to explore a little bit more the Samsara (especially that it looks
like there are evolving technics to get a glimpse of the Nirvana,
while staying in the Samsara).
