if you could, would you?
Given the issues Seggybop presented, wouldn't it be a better idea to transfer one's consciousness and memories into the new body's "blank" brain instead??? I might sound like either a Raëlian or somebody who's read too much sci-fi, but the possibility might be there some 50 years from now...
I don't think so, because in that case *I* would be dead, and some younger guy with my memories and pretending to be me would be alive.

I've watched the new He-Man series. Like old one better. Fuck, I was raised on it.
