I'm with the blue guy

(link)

I like when something like a comic can spawn a serious philosophical discussion.

Thought for the day: You occupy a different body every second of your life. The body you occupy now is not the same body you occupied 10 years ago. Yet few even consider the idea that this somehow makes them a different person. I actually think it does, but that that is a good thing.

Life is change. And I think that's the blue guy's argument. There's nothing inherently "wrong" with transferring your consciousness to a robot body that isn't also "wrong" about transferring your consciousness to the new body that is being built for you every second of your life.
