Imagine this though. Interesting thought experiment. Imagine just 1% of your brain was damaged and replaced with new tissue, artificial or biological, doesn't matter. Imagine you feel exactly the same and report feeling exactly the same to everyone else as well. Then another 1% a month later and you report the same thing. Repeat the process bit by bit, gradually, monthly, until your entire brain has eventually been replaced. Who do you think you would be?
If I'm understanding what your saying right I think you'd gradually just slide into delirium little by little until your a vegetable.
One thing that would be possible to possibly become immortal is if they were able to remove your brain from your body and attach it to a machine. But there is science suggesting that the brain isnt alone in creating memories and such. Theres been studies of people who had organ transplants and actually acquired memories and talents that the person who previously had the organ had. One guy had a heart transplant and had the urge to start mountain biking and couldnt stop in his obsession and he found out that his heart came from a professional mountain biker. Theres endless cases like this online its a well known phenomenon. So its possible your brain needs its other organs to complete its signals or some shit.
Do you think immortality can ever be achieved?
