This article is about "connectomics" which is the study of the connections in your brain. Scientists now are busy trying to map all the different connections in the human brain so that one day they may be able to "copy" your brain.
Do you think that will be possible? Are you only the sum of all the connections in your brain? If you could copy your "connectome" and upload that to a robot body and live forever, would you want to?
Or do you believe in a soul that is separate from your neural connections in your brain?
What are you? Your brain? Your "heart"? Your soul?
If you could upload your connectome with all your memories and thoughts...would that still be you?
