I took the transporter, silicon, and freeze. The soul comes from the brain/mind. I don’t accept the premise of the third question. It is not a reduction to see that the brain/mind produces the soul. And I use the term soul because if one does not then their morality is questioned so that is an easy fix to make.



Yeah, I have never read a definition of "soul" that made sense to me. The premise for Question 3 said that it has some small effect on character, smaller than upbringing and genes. But lots of people have character or genes like me. So are souls unique? If not memories, what information _is_ stored in the soul?
