MODERATORS
They both involve a state of unconsciousness, but they are fundamentally different states. If you were under anaesthetic and, whilst under, they liquidised your brain and installed an exact copy of it in its place then you'd be cool with that?
No one would be the wiser and the original brain is gone, so no harm, no foul?
How do you know it doesn't?
I think I would be OK with it. I'm not the same person when I wake up in the morning as when I went to sleep as it is; my brain is certainly different than it was last week, much less dozen years ago.
How do I know it doesn't do what? I'm not sure which part of this comment that refers to.
