I've always wondered.. how much human does it require one to be human?
Like, how many organs, how many cells would be required to be copied to an artificial self, in order for that being to be considered a human?
Is it just the brain? Does it take the brain itself to be transplanted to an artificial Demi Machina type of being? Or is it just the information? Can a brain - just the information held within - be cloned into an artificial brain and be considered a conscious demi-human?

For that matter, what is consciousness anyway? What does it take to be human? What does it take to transfer one into an artificial self?

If one were to take organs and replace them with bionic parts, at which point would that being stop being human? Would it ever stop, if the information were to be preserved?

I believe every change changes you. How do you define self? For example, if you loose an arm - it changes you as a person. If you get a prosthetic replacement, it also changes your life, and you. Some people might change more than others.

The same goes with every experience you encounter. Falling in love, loosing a loved one, educating your self, changing a job, getting seriously sick and so on.

Anyway, that's a nice philosophical rant :)

Personally i believe it's your self image which would require to be self aware and hold value within ones self

This is too deep for me

Some explanation on the "consciousness" part: https://youtu.be/H6u0VBqNBQ8
This is part one of a series of three videos.

Anyway, regarding your questions, I do believe, like the others said, that it depends a lot on the person. I would say that people using technology everyday might be more willing to become part machine (not everyone, of course), but that would require more date to be sure.

PS: I highly recommend that channel and suggest watching all of their videos.

@Jilano Fellow Kurzgesagt viewer I see 😎

@irene Fair enough!

@Condor Yes! Most definitely one of the best channel of this type out there.

@rutee07 Of course, first thing I did!

What if we can download our self image as self_image.iso and load it into an raspberry file. That would be fun

There's more to consciousness than simply materialism. Where do you store the soul on your hard drive?

Human is nothing but just a word that created by humans to define those who they think are like them

As i think
Only two thing is required...

Information/thought/idea
and
believe /trust

Well these all words defined differently but after all they point at same thing.

We never saw Alexander, Euler, Newton but we know they are human... Because of thoughts..

Who knows if Archimedes was a fish and he discovered Buoyancy while swimming..

But we know he was a human... How? Because we Heard it.. And we believed it

Another example is Stephen Hawkings... His body was mostly stopped functioning but we still consider him as a human..
Again believe

What if we believed chimpanzee are humans too.. Well then they are humans for us

Our brain doesn't work as we thinking here.. There is no place our memories are stored.. We cannot copy data from one to another...
we can't recall everything exactly we see.
If memory is stored then why we can't? Because there is no hard drive in our brain
