Once scanned into such a computer the biological person can die but their thought patterns, memories, desires, and creativity live on... if not forever, at least for some centuries... perhaps for millenia, inside infinite virtual universes.
But the original person will still be dead as a doornail. All that will survive will be a simulacrum. Good for everyone but the original, nonetheless.
The story I am writing is having birthing problems, and money is spreading less and less far.
Fiction story? For any publication in particular?
(By the way, "Doppelgangland" and "Superstar" are getting posted today.)
