Great story! I really enjoyed it made me think. Personally I think as written it is compatible with LDS theology. The body has traditionally been seen as a container for the soul what does it matter if the soul switches identical containers? As has been pointed out this is more or less what happens with resurrection. What I think is interesting is extending this example. What about when a copy is made but the original is still alive? Whose soul inhabits the copy? Does it have a soul at all? Assuming the copies do have souls. What if a copy was made of a serial killer the copy would be indistinguishable from the original and presumably would keep killing. Does the soul that was shoehorned into the copy bear responsibility for the evil acts committed by the copy?

PS: Don’t click on my name in my first post. It will bring you to a random domain site. My second copy is the real blog site that it should bring you to. Or is it?

Mormon or not, the brain is a biological computer. It is the most complex CPU and an amazing hard drive. If you are a Mormon you are encouraged to learn as much as you can in this life. If something like this does become possible, don’t discredit it by saying that it is unethical or immoral. Don’t even count it out as impossible. Perhaps it is just a step in learning about resurrection.

You really make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It sort of feels too complicated and very large for me. I am taking a look forward to your subsequent post, I’ll attempt to get the hold of it!

Looks like you’re getting spammed Steve. In an LDS context, we should not be able to exist with only a reconstituted memory imprint, as we are told spirit+body=soul; if the spirit is gone, so is the soul (by definition). Do cloned cells in a petri dish have souls? Anyway, if sentient humans with personalities, etc. could exist in this future, one core tenant of our theology would have to be discarded (or at least re-examined). Interesting story idea.

With the increase in the economic growth of the country, a lot of products and services are available to consumers across various social and economic backgrounds. Many people are applying for loans provided by different banks and financial institutions. One of the easiest loans to apply for and receive is a car title loan. Car title loans are much like payday loans in that they are small emergency loans. Applicants should be aware that they have a substantial interest rate and are required to pay the loan back in a month’s time.

Hi Sciencebysteve,
Very interesting, I’m Mormon. I’m not talking about the people who have 800 wives, because that is SO wrong! That only happened in 1800 because there were less men. Thanks! Details please
Keep up the good work
