Chip implanted at birth creates clone of you over the years that doesn't turn off when you die. | |
Then when the physical body goes, the clone is so you that it doesn't care about the other part leaving any more than getting a haircut.
The database goes into a robot with all the sensory mechanisms of a body, then to prevent overpopulation, you get dropped off on Europa to be a colonizer.
Be
like a heaven thing.

There was a science fiction story about this. Everyone is implanted with a parallel electronic brain that grows with them over time. They're supposed to think exactly the same. A girl realizes she's thinking two different thoughts and thinks the one with more "bad" thoughts is the electronic one, so she'll die when they kill the organic brain. Then her time comes and the "her" that was worrying is still alive. i.e. they killed he organic brain, leaving the more socially accepted one alive. It's really subtle and deep in its philosophical implications. |
