Uhm, I'm not sure about that. A brain transplant, or even copying the brain seems highly improbable, close to impossible. But I obviously can't see into the future, so who knows?

Its possible to clone, remember the Sheep "Dolly"
If not read it up, the first animal to ever be cloned and I think the first creature in general.
Lol...dude read what he was talking about before responding. Cloning as we are doing it simply copies an organism's DNA, Dolly was made from DNA from cells of another sheep, they didn't just put a sheep in a machine and poof she popped out. Growing another organism with the exact same genetics doesn't neccesarily mean that the organism will be the exact same, we are a combination of environment and genetics, we can't duplicate the environment part of it yet, so its almost pointless.
In other words, if we made a clone of you, it wouldn't be exactly like you. It would be another baby with the same genetic code as you, which would mean physically you would look similar and perhaps behave and react similarly to a lot of things, however unless your clone lives a life that was exactly the same as yours, he would not be the same as you.
