I think we're going to learn how to mimic a transfer of consciousness before we learn how to actually do one. Basically we'll figure out how to boot up a new brain with all of your memories intact. But that's not actually a transfer, that's a clone. How many millions of people will we murder before we find out the Zombie Zuckerberg Corp was lying about it being a transfer?

What's the difference between the two?

A. You die and a copy exists

B. You move into a new body

Right, how is moving into a new body not dying?

In one scenario you continue. In the other you die but observers think you continue because it's a copy of you.
