Is there in principle such a thing as a person's personality? Some believe that a person is initially born as himself, and then all his qualities simply develop. Others believe that personality is formed exclusively by memories, experiences and, in part, is passed on from parents. What is the real situation?
No one has an unequivocal answer to this question. Scientists from the University of Texas at Austin offer their point of view, which is that you can take information from the brain of a person after his death, transfer it to another and, thus, get, if not an exact copy of the departed, then something very close to him …
However, not all so simple. You can endow a person with all the features of another and get something in which humanity will not be perfect. Therefore, the emotional component is important, which is mixed with the received life experience.
Therefore, scientists emphasize, further study of decomposition processes is required. If it is possible to obtain accurate evidence that a person's personality is preserved even after little is left of the body, then it will become known for sure that it does not depend on physical traits and the brain alone.
