but my mind/soul/spirit/whatever will never be able to exist again
my dna may be able to be cloned, but my mind/soul/spirit/whatever that inhabits my current body is impossible to hold
Which draws the question to me, is the mind made by the brain, or is the mind something stronger, as if a spirit/soul/whatever?
Help, I am having an existential crisis, I think! Or maybe it's the body that thinks! I DON'T KNOW! |

The brain creates consciousness.
Even if you were to replicate your entire brain with identical DNA, it's a different brain essentially, and it will create its own consciousness.

seriously guys i don't know if the mind is separate from the body or not
i mean, i hope the mind is a sub-portion of the spirit which then can just manifest into a clone with strong enough willpower, and if not then my clones may have the same personality but i won't experience things like them, and basically then they're like other people.
I feel hopeless as a villain. |

is consciousness able to be shared or something? hopefully.
otherwise what hope do i have |

its kinda like going to sleep, if you fall asleep you have no idea of consciousness so you would never know

Your "consciousness", or as people refer to spirit or soul, can be considered the software.
Your brain, body, nerves, contain the hardware.
Your hardware allows for your software to be ran, essentially your software could be placed within a different body. The problem with this is that question of whether the user is "copied" into the new body and the original is destroyed, or is it streamed into the new body effectively not needing to the original to be destroyed? |

You know what, after all this contemplation, I've decided to reject my humanity and kill my clones. |

Good, cloning is considered to be unethical in this age

Cloning may be unethical, but that's not why I'm killing my clones.
I'm killing my clones because I cannot possess them and continue my reign of terror against the foolish proletariat who I am currently associated with.
I WISH TO HAVE MONEY, SO THEN I CAN BE WORTH SOMETHING. |

Technically, I'd like to see a kickstarter project that's creating an artificial brain using biological methods rather than just mechanical. This way it's 90% biological and 10% mechanical enabling us to get a better understanding of how a real brain would work with mechanical technology such as nano-technology. |

Your question fried my brain i cannot handle this much thinking. lol. And I definitely agree with ImperialOutcast-- I'd like to see something like that happen. ---I'm definitely anti-cloning when it's cloning a human being to harvest body parts.--- And if you believe you can "live on" in a sense, through your clone, by sharing consciousness, that wouldn't be possible- and it definitely hasn't been done before. I don't believe it's possible nor do I believe it will ever be possible. Now my brain is fried and i can't think anymore lol. |

3D Printing has eliminated the need for someone to "grow a clone".
Now you can simply print a new body part and attach it and enable it to grow on the person until it is then removed and placed where the now-unusable body part is.
For example, a lab has 3D printed an ear and grew it inside a mouse and then attached it on the outside where no ears existed, and the mouse could hear again. |
