Copying the mind and putting it in a clone for extended life

[ScienceRocks]

I was watching the outerlimits, season 7, episode 7 and it was about cloning things, but not only cloning, but also coping every memory, thought and attitude of the person. What occurred is the wife was having her memories downloaded into a computer, but the computer fucked up and fried her brain...The husband a year later gets sick of waiting for her to wake up as she is in a coma and chooses to clone 100% exact copy of her using a very fast laser 3-d bio-printer and then downloads her memories, thoughts and attitude into her clone.


My question could this be possible in the future? Not only hearts, lungs, but full exact copies of ourselfs. Imagine for a second you could save yourself(thoughts, dreams, emotions, etc) as in a total copy of your mind every few years and have a downloaded copy of your younger blue prints(25 years old???). When your old body dies or is dying your doctor could do this process(exact copy!) and download the latest up to date awareness(thoughts, dreams and emotions!). You could live many life times this way.

They would have to transfer the whole brain into the clone. I'm down with it!

there is memory inside every cell of our body

however, the human mind and memory are not 1's and 0's, so this seems pure fantasy.

good tv, not reality.


and why transfer it to another mortal body?

the body has muscle memory that comes with a sudden event or years of repetition.

we see someone stub a toe, we recall doing it ourselves and flex our toe, maybe even feel some pain.


I see a needle on the floor my right foot tilts outward and curls, b/c that's what happened when I stepped on one and it went all the way in.

Imagine having to relearn things that caused you pain.

Yes, but more sophisticated then a 3d printer using molecular laser writer. The hang ups to this were memory storage being huge ,but solvable with nano computing faster computing huge increases in data storage as years pass we'll advance to solve that issue by time the brain maping technology is ready in 20-40 years (per Google claims & IBM advances). This info has been on my link of sites since around 1996 and has been used for many TV programs on the topic of life extension and transhumanism, but there are a few people being used by the media as the face and spokesman for these concepts without mentioning where they are getting their core founding info.
I got Ralph Merkle some face time on some programs back when, but the media is using that Dr Michio Kaku futurist guy alot.

Just for further clarification.
Cloning=Twin, so waiting for a physical twin to grow up is impracticle a method and immoral. Therefore the probable best method is molecularly generating that clone along side mind storage technology.
Applications for this go beyond the normal perception of uses. Besides eradicating death, teleportation, space travel survival,
wars and murder would be pointless if justice is made through RETURNING the victim back to life. Cloning coyld partially serve that purpose in that it would allow that vessel the right to live whereby that right was taken from that vessel. But the vessel is not the same person without the memory thus nature of being from that collection and learned traits, that's where brain mapping takes it to that important step further, but at worse Cloning could still serve a choice and purpose as I stated for justice and prevention of murder.
Furthermore brain-memory technologies can help with trauma victims erase painful memories or restore broken ones.
There's lots of applications the science community has not even thought of yet.
Longevity can be made less monotonous through such technologies.
I made a mistake though in my last post, Google estimates by 2050 the brain mapping memory transfer tech will be achieved...probably rushed sooner if the execs feel their time is near. *L*

Enrico Fermi calculated an average human beings has about 7.5*10^27 atoms. It's not easy to solve the problem to bring all this atoms in the right position for a copy of a human being. And if the printer, who is doing so, has to produce the atoms too, then it needs energy in the size of formula E=m*c^2. So I guess a solution would in general need a very long time and a gigantic amount of energy and my feeling says to me we produce in such a way a human being with empty eyes.
