Nov 23 at 16:39 comment added Corbin A standard reply, too short for an answer: the no-cloning theorem forbids brain scans that are exact and non-destructive. Your setting would need to criminalize destructive brain scans, which could be interesting to the narrative.

Nov 22 at 17:54 comment added Nosajimiki @JohnO Not necessarily, it just means that the human mind is more than the form of our brains which is already scientifically proven on several levels.

Nov 22 at 17:12 comment added Seggan There's always the metaphysical cop-out of "there's something more to human minds than the brain"

Nov 22 at 16:33 comment added John O This would require that human minds aren't Turing-computable. Whatever that would mean.

Nov 22 at 13:44 comment added Stef We were drawing maps of the world a long, long time before we were building video games and simulators. We're already capable of scanning a human brain. But it's still gonna be a long, long time until we can simulate a human brain. Note we're also already capable of sequencing the human genome, ie making a map of human DNA; but it's also gonna be a long long time until we can simulate a human body given the DNA.

Nov 22 at 2:07 comment added Flywheel25a I don't have enough scientific basis for a proper answer, but I think the analog vs. digital issue could also be a factor. The world is analog, our computers are digital.
