It's a valid question.
Two pages of giant mess because I assumed you could put two and two together. The assumption is my fault.Quote:

Elsewhere, totally unrelated to this conversation but generally common knowledge, we have done organ transplants successfully on mammals for decades.
Grow new mammal. Kill it. Take one of it's goodies. Remove the same part from the original mammal. Put the new part in the original mammal. Original mammal now contains cells of it's own DNA with new buffers. Ta Da.
On the off change you're not trolling I'll clarify what IP said:Quote:

You would still be inside of you, just now there would be something else which mimics you. When you die, you're still dead, the copy lives on as nothing more than that, a copy. If we copied one of your vinyls onto my computer and then snapped the vinyl, we'd still be able to listen to the music, but the original is destroyed and the copy is nothing more than a copy.
Unless you copied the vinyl onto another vinyl using Technology.
OH SURE, LIKE THAT'S EVEN POSSIBLE.
You must be kidding.Quote:

Here's a good analogy: I said we have no way to keep parts on a car from rusting and your response was replace the parts. I never said we couldn't replace the parts, I said we couldn't stop them from rusting. Do you see how you're solving a different problem?
Buttplant- Record is special because it has dirt different from all of the other dirt on every other record in the world! Therefore digital recording is not good copy since not only does it not have unique dirt, it doesn't have any dirt!
Cheebs- Make the copy from the special dirty record, not the master tape.
Opaque- Yeah, but the original point that Buttplant made that Cheebs was poo-pooing was that a copy is just a copy.
Cheebs- Response undecided. Perhaps just post a summery of what was said.

I learned my lesson, I'm just ignoring Cheebs from now on.
