I only have one issue. If our consciousness were transferred, would it really be us, or a copy of us? Think of it like this: You and your twin are raised under the exact same conditions, experience the exact same thing, therefore you feel, react, and think the same exact way. You also have the same memories. This is basically you in another body, so it's like the same consciousness. The problem is, this isn't you. You can't see through the others eyes. If you die, you don't continue living in the other's body. Sure, others could feel that the other can take your place, but you, in reality, have ceased to exist. If anyone has an answer to this issue please feel free to respond.
