In theory if you left your neural pathways intact there wouldn't be an issue, the problem is that those eventually start to degrade too after so long. I've often had a thought experiment where you're gradually injected with nanomachines that are designed to watch each individual neuron in your body, watch how they fire and interact with other neurons around them, then quickly kill and replace their role. Over time, your entire neural system is replaced with mimicking nanomachines. But that's obviously a Ship of Theseus issue again. Is there some point where you just die and be replaced with a neural network mimic of you? How would you be able to tell you were even reaching that point? Nobody would know that you died at some point because the thing now acting in place of you would act PRECISELY like you. Or would there be no point of death, and is the entire human experience potentially transferable so long as it was done gradually? Can our "souls" if you want to call our conscious that really just be ported over to a digital analogue of the body? And again, how could you possibly prove this to an outside observer?
