The idea of downloading your personality, memories, etc. into an artificial life form or another body is no longer just science fiction. In the same way that one's avatar personality was downloaded into a Cylon in Caprica, and the skin jobs were downloaded into new bodies on the resurrection ships, they are working on ways do download one's brains into artificial life forms. This is no longer just science fiction, but science fact.
Downloading memories and personalities is one thing, but...nobody is seemingly asking about the soul, but that's a private matter I suppose.
I also guess you could have LOTS of beings out there with "multiple personalities" clustered into one body, not unlike Gayas Baltar...Now THAT would get confusing! Who knows...Maybe that's how we'll end up creating the Imperious Leader...
