We all know that cloning is possible, and is infact commonplace in 206x. We
also know that with simsense it is possible to experiance and record everthing
a person sees hears and feels. Putting these two things together what is the
general consensus on this list of the possiblity of these being used to
provide certain people with a virtual immortality? IE being able to record a
persons memeories and knowlege, and pump it into the brain of a clone, so that
the clone wakes up knowing everything the person does?

Heck, I just realised another thing, I think I recall it was being bandied
about when I first came up on the Itribe list. However, I dont remember what
the consensus on it was. What would happen if say a street sammie, (cybered
to within a tenth of his life, obviously) had his brain transplanted into an
all new clone body with no cyber? He would go back to having 6 essance,
right?

And before you all jump on me saying even in 206x brain transplants arnt
possible, I have two words for you: CYBER SKULL. Shure seems to me that the
sort of work that needs to be done to give someone one of those, or a cyber
torso, could be used to transplant a brain with no problem.
