Ordinarily, I would describe someone who is uncertain about obvious things as a fool. It's not clear to me that I'm a fool, but it is also not at all clear to me that murder as you've defined it in this conversation is evil.

I didn't mean to call you a fool, only I don't think the disruption of your intuitions is a disruption of your ethical intuitions. It's unintuitive to think of a human-being as something fully emulated within another human being's brain, but if this is actually possible, it's not unintuitive that ending this neural activity would be murder (if it weren't some other form of killing-a-human-being). My point was just that the distinction in hardware can't make a difference to the question of whether or not ending a neural activity is killing, and given a set of constants, murder.

Since I don't think we're any longer talking about my original question, I think I'll tap out.
