The brain also contains everything that makes you you. All your memories, experiences, skills, ..., and we are nowhere close to developing a computer that is able to emulate this.

    I can't.

    But, also no. Not even close.

    The path to longevity lies in therapies to stop aging, and reverse it. Making us functionally immortal. The idea that we can transfer our consciousness to some artificial substrate will never happen, because we'll reach the other, much better option first.

    Also, there's no way to confirm that the transfer actually transferred the consciousness. We could end up as internally dead perfect simulations that seem complete from the outside. It's not a trivial problem. It wouldn't matter to anyone but you, and you'd be gone, so you couldn't complain.
