Death without Dying
#6
RE: Death without Dying
I guess you the machine are alive, but your persona and ego which is entirely a product of experience and memory are gone.

But there is always the genetic component of our personality that may be far more substantial than we have supposed. It may be fair to say that while you don't have the same memories, friendships, relationships, ect you may be the same person or very close to that it your style of speech, mannerisms, interests, beliefs, taste in music etcetera.

Is there a case where permanent memory loss has ever occurred? And what were the findings in that example?
