because the brain is more than the sum of its parts.

Then create those parts exactly. I don't believe that this is an impossible task, we will be doing this in the future. With ease.

nah, it'd never be possible. it'd be like making a hard drive from scratch and expecting it to have the exact same data on it as another older, used one. you can copy the organ as exactly as you like, and it'll just be a brain empty of information.

now, if you could extract information from one brain and implant it in another, that would be a different story altogether.

but under the conditions posed by the OP, theres no way it would work.

But isnt the information on the brain stored physically? If you can recreate a brain from another perfectly the information will be transferred as well.

Hard disks record information by magnetizing a magnetic material in a pattern that represents the data. They read the data back by detecting the magnetization of the material.

Just recreate the magnetic patern, it is possible!

The same goes with memories. If we can find however memories are stored, we would be able to recreate the pattern.

I think it's possible, but why would we want to?

Why WOULDN'T you want to?
