Which means that, in principle, there shouldn't be any reason why the information and dispositions that make up a mind can't be recorded and copied into another substrate someday, such as... | |

Changes happen in organisms because the changes in the long run bestow some advantage (or at least no disadvantage) to the survival of the organism. Let's rephrase the question: what evolutionary... | ||
