Hi all
First post! I'm happy to have found this list as much of it coincides
with what I've been thinking about in the past few years, esp. after
reading about quantum roulette and realising, as many others have
done, that this leads to quantum immortality.
1) Lately, I've been thinking about
Hi,
1) My thoughts are that an act of euthanasia would be more likely to 'push'
the consciousness of the patient to some hitherto unlikely scenario - any
situation where death is probable requires an improbable get-out clause. The

2) I'd like to propose a thought experiment. A subject has his brain
cells removed one at a time by a patient assistant using a very fine
pair of tweezers. The brain cell is then destroyed in an incinerator.
Is there a base level of consciousness
Interesting idea. But obviously 'memories' is quite unquantative when you
get down to it: all memories are not equal, some are stored in
