...This argument strikes me as, pardon me, tremendously silly. Just off the top of my head, it seems to still hold if you replace the ‘quantum level simulation of a person’ with an exact duplicate of the original brain in a saline bath, hooked up to a feed of oxygenated blood. Should we therefore conclude that human brains are not conscious?
EDIT: Oh blast, didn’t realize this was from months ago.
