Just a subtle point: if you say "YES" to the comp-doctor, the
artificial brain you get is supposed not to model you, but to emulate
you. This asks for a quite strong act of faith, making comp closer to
theology than science in the usual sense of the word. But then it gives
a rational theology in which you can make sharable reasonings and
derive testable propositions (and that's also called sciences,
traditionally).
