When will we be able to clone human memories? Scientists just uploaded a fruit fly brain into a PC

A story and an experiment have been spreading on X: Scientists uploaded the brain of a fruit fly into a computer, and now it lives freely in its own simulation.

We managed to clone the physical form of animals more than 30 years ago (for example, the cloning of a goat using SCNT in 1999). There was even a controversial case in China where a scientist was sued after attempting to create gene-edited babies in 2018.

But now we are talking about something different – "mental cloning."

Not just genetically creating the body, but potentially replicating the consciousness of an existing entity.

In theory, we could exist twice and continue experiencing the future in parallel. With intensive research, I think we might even reach something like this around 2050.
