Maybe but what bothers me is if a computer was able to replicate your brain and consciousness, would it be you living that consciousness?
It may replicate how you think and feel and stuff but would it be you(if that makes sense)?

Isn't this sort of the premise of the new Netflix thing "Altered Carbon"? I've not watched it yet but reading about it, it's basically about this thread concept, and what you've just mentioned here (multiple copies of your own consciousness in different bodies) is described as being "possible but highly illegal" .. but it's sort of known that some powerful people are doing it, but it's impossible to know who (the bodies themselves that the consciousness is put in are all different) .

I've been meaning to watch it and now I really want to. .

Yeah, I didn't actually know it was originally a novel. Sounds like the series follows the novel pretty closely though.
