[Rambo John J]

That EXACT question kept me awake for hours when I was like 6 years old and haunts me to this day!!!!!

riding other dimensions IMO

If my consciousness could be, I'd do it.

If it was like the teleporter in the Fly, where it killed you and make an exact copy of you, than no thanks.

If you have not read it I recommend the We are Bob trilogy

Alastair Reynolds (hard sci fi) and Richard Morgan (fictional sci fi) both have very good book series about this.

Personally I’d rather become a cyborg, live forever in space travelling from star system to system and keep my mind in my body.

I think the real next step is transplanting our brains into new, synthetic bodies. That way it isn't a copy of me, it is me but in a much better, conceivably immortal body!

So cyborg it is...
