What if you do it in a ship of theseus type of way. Like, swapping each part of the brain with an electronic one slowly until there is no brain left.

Wonder if that will work.

If I remember right, the game The Talos Principle calls that the Talos principle

Sounds like the sort of the The Talos Principle would call that

The tv show Pantheon figures it will work, but it will be very disturbing.

Was looking for the Pantheon reference in this thread! Just finished that show and loved it. Of course it takes plenty of liberties for the sake of the storytelling, but still, at least it explores these interesting topics!

Anyone reading this thread, do yourself a favor and check out Pantheon!

Right? Like what if as cells die or degrade instead of being replaced by the body naturally they are replaced by nanites/cybernetics/tech magic. If the process of fully converting took place over the course of 10 years, then I don't see how the subject would even notice.

It's an interesting thing to ponder.

The subject also doesn’t notice if you end their consciousness either.
