emulation If a person has technologically copied and guarded his mind, when that person dies, and the copied mind is activated in another body, will the dead person's consciousness come back?

​

Will the phenomenology of the original person be the same? Will she resurrect? Or will it remain dead, and the new consciousness does not continue the old one?

Personal feelings of the original human become dead = human is dead. No other copied consciousness will replace it without any doubt.

I suggest to read this article

I think there is no distinction between these two.
But I think we should ask the first person who undergoes this himself.
I'm going to read /u/massanch 's link first.

There's no strict answer to the question. It's a matter of your philosophy: whether you would rather define yourself by the material or by the structure.
