Mind Uploading: Science Fiction or Future Reality?

Uploading consciousness to a computer, achieving digital immortality, sounds like science fiction, but a brain scientist argues it's theoretically possible. While immense challenges remain – such as the need for extremely detailed 3D brain scans and sensory simulations – the technology's advancement could be surprisingly rapid. Though optimistic predictions point to 2045, the author believes it's unlikely within 100 years, but perhaps within 200. The success of this technology would fundamentally alter human existence, raising huge ethical and philosophical questions.
