- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

What if we place the human fresh parts in the exact molecular state, that the original is in ? If my understanding is correct, our memories are somehow encoded with whatever chemical biology is happening in the brain, and if we suppose we can imitate those chemical states with the fresh parts, shouldn't we get the same memories/consciousness ?
Maybe so, but does Thomas have a brain someplace?
Good question. I'd postulate they have some equivalent for a brain : if not a chemical one, maybe a very intricate mechanical one. Anyway, if it has something that works as a brain, we could theoretically recreate it. But this is only hypothetical of course. We could also say it has just a soul, and then your theory would be back on tracks (pun intended)
