SIs. There is nothing artificial about them. But yes, you are correct. And I don't mind that.
I don't hate my body. I'm just very open to improving and even replacing it with technology.

I counter with scientific determinism. That will have to do for now as I am nowhere near being in the proper mindset to explain to you my thoughts on consciousness.
Consciousness is a muddled mess which we still are fucking clueless as to how it forms, or even what it is. Debating about it is silly. Until we nail what it is down exactly, it's purely philosophical.
Hence why I find arguments such as Faolinn's to be baseless. It may sound Russell's-teapot-ish, but until it has been conclusively disproven, the possibility of successful transferral of consciousness from body to computer exists.
