This feels to me like a malfunction of the liberal mind...extreme individualism.
My simple question would be how much "your" consciousness really is 'yours'...especially if it is reduced to a computer program.
Identical twins do have distinct consciousness of course.
To me...it seems like if you admit that your consciousness can be removed from the body and reproduced on a computer...then you are forced to admit that nothing is special about consciousness. And indeed what even are 'you'?
