But I don't know if transfer of consciousness to another entity is immortality or just duplicating yourself? You know what I mean? It's like transferring your memories to an identical twin instead of you prolonging your life.

As I think about how my mind already makes new memories and erases or compresses others, I suspect it already works this way.
