So at the end when it shows chappie plans to put the backup moms consciousness into a robot even though she's already long dead it creeped me out a bit. This brought me to the question if your consciousness is insta uploaded into a robot avatar killing your human body in the process(like it did to the guy who created chappie) would you still be "you"? Would your new body actually be you or would it be a copy of you that thinks it's you without knowing it actually isn't? Eternal mindfuck

I'd imagine that your perception of consciousness wouldn't be reanimated and that it's just a copy, but the difference wouldn't be noticeable to the copy self. Quality film, but I get the feeling the directors aren't going to deviate from the Documantary-style intro set in Johannesburg in their future Movies. 

I think that, like Zonda said, the copy of you wouldn't feel any different than you do right now, but the original would basically die. I have a different question though. If there is such thing as a soul, do you think the same thing would apply? Do you think the concept of a soul could have been a basic concept for consciousness?

I have a question - can the copied consciousness, uploaded to a robot avatar, still function like it does in the human body? I mean does the robots computer have an algorithm or something to 'clean up' memories and shit like our brains naturally do or does it all just get stored as data somewhere? Could the copy of your consciousness still 'grow' like it does as your body ages or as a machine copy is it just inert on some level? Because isn't Chappie's artificial and only capable of copying certain functions, like "feeling" emotions etc.?
I think it'd be a copy of you that thinks it's you but doesn't or can't understand its not
