  1. Theological and Ethical Aspects of Mind Transfer in Transhumanism.Grzegorz Osiński - 2021 - Scientia et Fides 9 (1):149-176.
    Mind transfer is the most important concept of transhumanists. Its tech­nological implementation is to copy and transfer the human mind to a computer, by exact mapping of all neural connections in the human brain and their precise copying in a computer simulation.
